Our Online Marriage: Love Without Borders
Blog Article
Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from separate countries.
When you’re in a relationship separated by distance, especially with military deployment, 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 an option.
Then we found out we could have a legal virtual wedding.
At first, we thought it was some kind of loophole. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah legally support 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 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 closest friends and family to join via Zoom.
- And when the day came, we connected to the ceremony, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.
I said “I do” from my apartment. My partner said it from their military base.
It was emotional. It was easy. And it was ours.
The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our legal marriage certificate immediately — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.
Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle joint bank accounts, 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 modern way to check here 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 vows.
