How We Got Married from Different Countries

Blog Article

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 cross-border relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa issues, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel impossible.

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

Then we found out we could have a legal virtual wedding.

At first, we thought it was too good to be true. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah legally support fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re recognized across the U.S..

We decided to go for it.

Here’s how it worked for us:

• We submitted our documents and filled out a quick form.
• We booked our wedding time with an officiant who was licensed for online ceremonies.
• We invited our loved ones to join via Zoom.
• And when the day came, we logged on, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my home office. My partner said it from their military base.

It was real. It was easy. And it was ours.

The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was short but meaningful. And we received our official marriage certificate right after — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

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

If you’re separated by borders, don’t wait. Online marriage is recognized, and it’s a beautiful way to start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.

We’re proof that marriage can happen anywhere — and that what matters most is the commitment.
