We Said "I Do" Over Zoom — And It Was Perfect

Blog Article

I never pictured myself getting married via Zoom. But sometimes things happen differently than expected.

My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for a while, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt out of reach. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.

One night, while browsing forums, I came across a post about legal Zoom ceremonies. At first, I thought it was some kind of scam, but the more I looked into online wedding it, the more legit it seemed.

Turns out, in places like Utah, you can legally marry completely online — no need to be in the same location. It's fully legal in the U.S..

We decided to go for it. Why wait?

Here’s what the process looked like for us:

  • We booked a time with a licensed officiant through an approved platform.
  • We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license approved quickly.
  • 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 legally joined. 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 exploring wedding options, I highly recommend looking into online marriage. It's fully legitimate — 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.

Marriage is evolving, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.

Whether you're across the street or across the ocean, you can make it official — and make it yours.
