How We Got Married from Two Different Cities — Legally

I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But here we are — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My future spouse and I had been talking about marriage for months, 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 just symbolic, 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 need to be in the same location. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.

We decided to go for it. Why wait?

Here’s what the process looked like for us:

  • We secured a time with a licensed officiant through an online marriage service.
  • 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 loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of website the call, we were husband and wife. We toasted over Zoom, 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 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 fully legitimate — especially if you're working with immigration timelines.

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.

No matter the distance, you can make it official — and make it yours.
