We Said "I Do" Over Zoom — And It Was Perfect

I never pictured myself getting married online. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.

My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding felt overwhelming. 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 some kind of scam, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can get officially hitched completely online — even if you're in different countries. It's fully legal in the U.S..

We decided to go for it. Why wait?

Here’s what the process looked like for us:

  • We scheduled a time with a licensed officiant through an approved platform.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our digital marriage license without hassle.
  • On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest friends and family, and said our vows live on camera.

In less than 20 minutes, we were husband and wife. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was beautiful — even from hundreds of miles away.

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

If you’re trying to simplify your wedding plans, 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.

Love doesn’t follow old rules anymore, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

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