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 military deployment, 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 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 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 joined the call, said our vows, and just like that — we were married.

I said “I do” from my living room. My partner said it from their military base.

It was emotional. It was easy. And it was ours.

The officiant made it feel official. The ceremony was quick, but powerful. And we received our official 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 separated by borders, 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 weddings don’t need venues — and that what check here matters most is the commitment.
