How We Got Married from Different Countries
How We Got Married from Different Countries
Blog Article
Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from separate countries.
When you’re in a relationship separated by distance, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa website 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 an option.
Then we found out we could get married online.
At first, we thought it was some kind of loophole. But after 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 submitted our documents 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 joined the call, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.
I said “I do” from my living room. My fiancé said it from their military base.
It was real. It was easy. And it was ours.
The officiant made it feel official. 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 insurance updates, and every agency has recognized it — no issues at all.
If you’re trying to make your relationship official from afar, don’t wait. Online marriage is recognized, and it’s a beautiful way to start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.
We’re proof that weddings don’t need venues — and that what matters most is the commitment.
