Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Our Virtual Wedding: What It Was Really Like
Blog Article
I never pictured myself getting married without being in the same room. But that’s exactly what we ended up doing, and it was incredible.
My fiancé and I had been talking about marriage for months, but with travel limitations, planning a traditional wedding felt impossible. We weren’t even sure when we’d be in the same place long enough to make it official.
One night, while scrolling Reddit, I came across a post about virtual weddings. At first, I thought it was a joke, but the more I looked into it, the more legit it seemed.
Turns out, in places like Utah, you can have a valid marriage completely online — even if you're in different virtual wedding countries. It's even accepted internationally in many cases.
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 official virtual marriage site.
- We uploaded our IDs, completed a few online forms, and got our virtual marriage license without hassle.
- On our wedding day, we wore something nice for the webcam, sent the Zoom link to our closest inner circle, and said our vows live on camera.
Before we knew it, we were officially married. We toasted over video chat, smiled at each other through the screen, and let it all sink in. It was beautiful — even from hundreds of miles away.
Honestly? It was one of the most intimate 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 easier than you’d think — especially if you're dealing with life’s curveballs.
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.
Love doesn’t follow old rules anymore, and honestly? That’s kind of amazing.
Wherever you are, you can make it official — and make it yours.
