Why We Skipped the Courthouse to Get Married Online

Getting married online sounded crazy at first, but turns out, it’s legit — and we couldn’t believe how smooth it was.

We were dealing with living in different countries, so setting up an in-person appointment wasn’t realistic. Going the online route was the perfect workaround.

The process? Super smooth from start to finish.

1. Filled out a basic here questionnaire

2. Scheduled the virtual ceremony

3. Logged into a video call

4. Had our ceremony

Seriously.

Just a valid marriage certificate and a lot of happy tears.

But here’s what we didn’t expect:

- It works across borders and time zones.

- It’s not just symbolic — it’s legally binding.

- It saved us time, money, and paperwork headaches.

If you’re thinking about skipping the traditional route, don’t overthink it.
