Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from separate countries.

When you’re in a long-distance relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa issues, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel stressful.

We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just kept falling through.

Then we found out we could online marriage get married online.

At first, we thought it was only symbolic. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah offer fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re 100% valid.

We decided to go for it.

Here’s how it worked for us:

• We uploaded our IDs and filled out a quick form.
• We reserved our wedding time with an officiant who was licensed for online ceremonies.
• We invited our small circle to join via Zoom.
• And when the day came, we joined the call, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my living room. My spouse-to-be said it from their country overseas.

It was unforgettable. It was stress-free. And it was ours.

The officiant walked us through the process. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our certified marriage certificate the same day — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle immigration documents, and every agency has recognized it — no issues at all.

If you’re dealing with distance, don’t wait. Online marriage is real, and it’s a beautiful way to start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.

We’re proof that weddings don’t need venues — and that what matters most is the vows.
