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 a relationship separated by distance, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Paperwork, 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 get married online.

At first, we thought it was too good to be true. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah allow fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re even accepted in other countries.

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 partner said it from their temporary station.

It was unforgettable. It was stress-free. And it was ours.

The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was intimate and sweet. And we received our certified marriage certificate the same day — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle insurance updates, and every agency has approved it — no issues at all.

If you’re separated by borders, don’t wait. Online marriage is more info real, and it’s a meaningful 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 vows.
