How We Got Married from Different Countries

Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from two different continents.
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 quick wedding researching, we learned that states like Utah allow 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 verified our identities and filled out a quick form.
- We scheduled our wedding time with an officiant who was licensed for online ceremonies.
- We invited our small circle 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 fiancé said it from their military base.
It was real. It was easy. And it was ours.
The officiant walked us through the process. The ceremony was intimate and sweet. And we received our official marriage certificate the same day — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.
Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle joint bank accounts, and every agency has approved it — no issues at all.
If you’re dealing with distance, don’t wait. Online marriage is real, and it’s a beautiful 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 person on the other end of the call.
