How We Got Married from Different Countries

Getting married was always part of our plan — we just didn’t expect to do it from two different continents.
When you’re in a cross-border relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Visa issues, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel stressful.
We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just kept falling through.
Then we found out we could have a legal virtual wedding.
At first, we thought it was some kind of loophole. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah offer 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 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 closest friends and family 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 spouse-to-be said it from their country overseas.
It was emotional. It was simple. And it was ours.
The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our official marriage certificate right after — no courthouse, no plane website tickets, no headaches.
Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle immigration documents, and every agency has recognized it — no issues at all.
If you’re dealing with distance, don’t wait. Online marriage is legal, 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.
