If you haven’t considered using the words online and married in the same sentence, you’re missing out. Not only can you get married online, but it’s faster, cheaper, and easier than a traditional wedding.
Have you and your significant other been using phrases like “When we get married,” for too long? Let’s take a closer look at why and how to get married online.
Can You Legally Get Married Online?
Yes, you can! There are many states where you can get married online.
If you always thought you had to have an in-person ceremony to make your marriage legitimate, think again. During the pandemic, several states legalized online weddings. They hoped to help people get married without risking their health.
Even if you live in a state that doesn’t recognize online marriage, don’t fret. An online wedding agency like MarryFromHome can arrange for you to get married at a virtual venue.
Since the wedding is virtual, it counts as having occurred in a state that has legalized online marriage. Can you get married online to someone in another country? Yes! The bride and groom can participate from different cities, states, or countries.
Online Weddings: Can You Get Married Right Now?
Yes, you can get married online within as little as 24 hours after applying.
Online weddings may sound fantastic, but what if time is a factor? Can you get married right away, avoiding tons of paperwork and preparations? Yes, you can!
You may need to forego some of the details, like selecting the perfect wedding attire or decorating the venue for your Zoom-invited guests. But, if you’re eager to get married online, you may want to cut to the chase.
One great advantage of an online wedding is the sheer speed at which you can arrange it. You can register, send out Zoom links to participants and guests, and have the ceremony within one day.
However, your wedding doesn’t have to be a rushed affair. If you’d like a service with all the pomp and ceremony, you can have it.

What Do You Need to Have an Online Marriage?
An online wedding consists of the same basic elements as an in-person marriage. However, the process is different, and possibly even better.
For a marriage to be legally binding, you need to:
- Apply for and receive a license to marry
- Undergo a valid wedding ceremony (which includes online weddings)
- Register the marriage with valid state authority.
When we organize an online wedding ceremony here at MarryFromHome, we ensure that you meet these criteria. From arranging an online officiant to registering the marriage, we take the pressure off you.
The wedding party will need to provide:
- Identification documents
- Other personal data
- Specific information about the marriage itself
Once your online wedding planner has all this information, you’re ready to get married online. They’ll apply for your marriage license on your behalf, organize the ceremony, and handle the registration.
Your wedding provider will organize the wedding, and you just need to show up.
The online officiant and two witnesses sign the marriage license. After the wedding, the officiant will register the wedding with the court.
You’ll receive an official marriage certificate via mail. It may take a while to arrive, but as long as the government has the submitted data, you’re officially married!
Why You Should Get Married Online
Getting married online has a lot of advantages when compared to a traditional wedding. For example, an online wedding is:
Cheaper – Not only do you save all the money that you’d spend on catering and venue rental, but you don’t have to pay travel fees. If you decide not to buy expensive clothing, you’ll also save on attire.
Easier – Traditional weddings have a lot of moving parts, and can be difficult to coordinate. Whether it’s venue hire, finding good caterers, or table placement, there’s plenty to consider. Online weddings remove most of the stress that you’d typically encounter. If you use an online wedding planner (like MarryFromHome) the process is even easier.
More Accessible – No matter how much they might want to, your friends and loved ones can’t always hop on a plane to attend a wedding. If you get married online, your guests can attend from anywhere in the world. Your wedding will be more accessible to those closest to you.
Some people even argue that online weddings are safer to attend, largely because they eliminate the need for travel. However you feel about the safety of travel, there’s no denying that online weddings have many advantages.
