From Miles Apart to Married Online — Our Story

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. Time zones, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel stressful.

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 offer 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 uploaded our IDs and filled out a quick form.
• We reserved 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 apartment. My spouse-to-be said it from their temporary station.

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

The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was intimate and sweet. And we received our certified marriage certificate immediately — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

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

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

We’re proof that love doesn’t need borders — and that what matters most is the vows.
