We Said “I Do” From Two Locations — Legally

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 website a long-distance relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa issues, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel overwhelming.

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

Then we found out we could say “I do” over Zoom — for real.

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 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 reserved 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 living room. My fiancé said it from their temporary station.

It was unforgettable. It was easy. And it was ours.

The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was intimate and sweet. And we received our certified marriage certificate right after — 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 start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.

We’re proof that love doesn’t need borders — and that what matters most is the commitment.
