I never pictured myself getting married online. But life has a funny way of working out.

My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with busy schedules, planning a traditional wedding felt like more stress than joy. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.

One night, while reading wedding blogs, I came across a post about legal Zoom ceremonies. At first, I thought it was just symbolic, but the more I looked into it, the more website legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can have a valid marriage completely online — no need to be in the same location. It's recognized in all 50 states.

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 approved platform.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our digital marriage license within hours.
  • On our wedding day, we kept it casual but meaningful, sent the Zoom link to our closest loved ones, and said our vows live on camera.

By the end of the call, we were officially married. We toasted over FaceTime, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was real — even from hundreds of miles away.

Honestly? It was one of the most stress-free 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 trying to simplify your wedding plans, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's an option more people should consider — especially if you're in the military.

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.

Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
