Our Online Marriage: Love Without Borders

Our Online Marriage: Love Without Borders

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 cross-border relationship, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Paperwork, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel overwhelming.

We wanted to start our life together. But a traditional wedding just wasn’t an website option.

Then we found out we could get married online.

At first, we thought it was too good to be true. 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 verified our identities and filled out a quick form.
• We booked our wedding time with an officiant who was licensed for online ceremonies.
• We invited our small circle to join via Zoom.
• And when the day came, we connected to the ceremony, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my apartment. My fiancé said it from their country overseas.

It was emotional. It was simple. And it was ours.

The officiant guided us through everything. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. 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 immigration documents, and every agency has recognized it — no issues at all.

If you’re dealing with distance, 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 love doesn’t need borders — and that what matters most is the person on the other end of the call.
