Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t website 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 overwhelming.
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 some kind of loophole. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah offer 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 verified our identities and filled out a quick form.
- We reserved 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 connected to the ceremony, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.
I said “I do” from my living room. My spouse-to-be said it from their temporary station.
It was real. It was simple. And it was ours.
The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was short but meaningful. 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 accepted it — no issues at all.
If you’re separated by borders, 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.
