How We Got Married from Two Different Cities — Legally

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for some time, but with living in different states, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long website enough to make it official.

One night, while scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about legal Zoom ceremonies. At first, I thought it was just symbolic, 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 — no courthouse visit required. 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 booked a time with a licensed officiant through an official virtual marriage site.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license approved quickly.
  • On our wedding day, we dressed up from the waist up, 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 Zoom, 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 an option more people should consider — especially if you're in a long-distance relationship.

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.

Whether you're across the street or across the ocean, you can make it official — and make it yours.
