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

When you’re in a relationship separated by distance, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Time zones, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel impossible.

We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just wasn’t an option.

Then we found out we could get married online.

At first, we thought it was some kind of loophole. 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 verified our identities and filled out a quick form.
• We scheduled 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 apartment. My fiancé said it from their country overseas.

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

The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our official marriage certificate immediately — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, we’ve used our here online marriage to handle insurance updates, and every agency has approved it — no issues at all.

If you’re dealing with distance, don’t wait. Online marriage is legal, and it’s a meaningful 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 person on the other end of the call.
