How We Got Married from Two Different Cities — Legally

I never pictured myself getting married online. But life has a funny way of working out.

My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with different time zones, planning a traditional wedding felt out of reach. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.

One night, while scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about virtual weddings. At first, I thought it was a joke, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can legally marry completely online — no courthouse visit required. It's fully legal in the U.S..

We decided to go for online marriage it. Why wait?

Here’s what the process looked like for us:

  • We booked a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our electronic marriage license approved quickly.
  • On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of the call, we were legally joined. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was emotional — even from hundreds of miles away.

Honestly? It was one of the most stress-free experiences we could’ve asked for. No overpriced venue. No awkward seating charts. Just us, the copyright we meant, and a handful of people who love us cheering from their screens.

If you’re exploring wedding options, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's easier than you’d think — especially if you're dealing with life’s curveballs.

You don’t have to wait for a perfect moment or a perfect venue. You just need someone you love, a decent Wi-Fi signal, and a little bit of paperwork.

Modern love looks different, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
