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 two different continents.

When you’re in a cross-border relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Time zones, 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 only symbolic. But after researching, we learned that states like Utah legally support fully virtual marriages — with a licensed officiant and official paperwork — and they’re recognized across the U.S..

We decided to go for it.

Here’s how it worked for us:

• We verified our identities and filled out a quick form.
• We reserved 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 living room. My fiancé said it from their country overseas.

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

The officiant walked us through the process. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our official marriage certificate immediately — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, website we’ve used our online marriage to handle immigration documents, and every agency has recognized it — no issues at all.

If you’re separated by borders, 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 marriage can happen anywhere — and that what matters most is the commitment.
