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 separate countries.

When you’re in a cross-border relationship, especially with immigration challenges, 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 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 allow 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 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 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 partner said it from emergency wedding their country overseas.

It was unforgettable. 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 legal marriage certificate the same day — no courthouse, no plane tickets, no headaches.

Since then, we’ve used our online marriage to handle insurance updates, and every agency has accepted it — no issues at all.

If you’re dealing with distance, don’t wait. Online marriage is real, and it’s a modern 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 vows.
