How We Got Married from 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 relationship separated by distance, especially with international logistics, everything gets more complicated. Paperwork, 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 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 100% valid.

We decided to go for it.

Here’s how it worked for us:

• We submitted our documents 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 logged on, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my home office. 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 certified marriage certificate right after — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle immigration documents, and every agency has approved 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 secret wedding 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 commitment.
