Our Legal Zoom Wedding While Living in Different Countries
Our Legal Zoom Wedding While Living in Different Countries
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. Paperwork, travel restrictions, planning — even picking a date can feel impossible.
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 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 home office. My spouse-to-be said it from their country overseas.
It was unforgettable. It was simple. And it was ours.
The officiant walked us through the process. The ceremony was intimate and sweet. 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 accepted it — no issues at all.
If you’re trying to make your relationship official from afar, don’t wait. Online marriage is recognized, and it’s a modern way to start your future legal marriage online — 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 vows.
