How We Got Married from Different Countries

Blog Article

Getting married was always part of our plan — website we just didn’t expect to do it from different time zones.

When you’re in a long-distance relationship, especially with military deployment, 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 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 even accepted in other countries.

We decided to go for it.

Here’s how it worked for us:

• We submitted our documents and filled out a quick form.
• We booked 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 joined the call, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my apartment. My spouse-to-be said it from their temporary station.

It was emotional. It was easy. And it was ours.

The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was short but meaningful. And we received our legal 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 accepted it — no issues at all.

If you’re separated by borders, don’t wait. Online marriage is real, and it’s a meaningful way to start your future — even if you’re not in the same place.

We’re proof that marriage can happen anywhere — and that what matters most is the vows.
