Online marriage for long-distance couples
You can be apart and still take this step together
Get married in a live online ceremony from two different places.
When work, travel or life keeps you in different cities or countries, your marriage doesn’t have to wait for a bigger wedding. We help you arrange the ceremony, with clear steps and someone to guide you.

A real moment between you
Distance changes the setting, not the commitment
You each join the same video call. Your officiant leads the ceremony, you both say “I do,” and two adult witnesses take part.
It can be a quiet moment at home, with the people closest to you watching online. You can plan a celebration in person when the time is right.

How it works
A shared plan from your separate locations
Apply for your license
Follow the link in your portal. You can each complete your part from a different device and location. The government fee is paid separately.
Bring your plans together
Choose your ceremony time, check both time zones and arrange your two adult witnesses. You can bring your own or select our witness option.
Join your live ceremony
Open your ceremony link at the confirmed time. Your officiant guides the ceremony and completes the required filing afterward.
Before the call
Make space for your moment
A few practical choices can make it easier to focus on each other.
Both partners, your officiant and your witnesses need to see and hear one another throughout the ceremony.
Confirm the time in both places
Add the ceremony to your calendars using the right local time, especially if daylight saving changes affect one of you.
Test your device and connection
Check the camera, microphone and internet where you’ll actually sit. Keep your device charged or plugged in.
Choose a quiet, comfortable spot
Face a window or lamp so your face is easy to see. Set your device somewhere steady and give yourself a little room.
Share the link with your people
Make sure your witnesses know when to join. Invite family and friends if you’d like them to watch too.
Marry now, celebrate later
Your wedding can happen in more than one way
You don’t have to fit the legal ceremony, family travel and a larger celebration into one day.
Complete your marriage online, then gather your favorite people when you can be in the same place. A meal together, a party or a future ceremony can still be part of your story.
Choose your support

Questions about marrying while apart
Get comfortable with the details
Have a question about your plans? Ask our team ↗
Can we really get married without being in the same room?
Yes. You can both take part in the same live online ceremony from separate locations. Your ceremony includes an authorized officiant, a valid license, two adult witnesses and the required filing.
Does someone stand in for one of us?
No. You both attend and speak for yourselves. You must be able to see and hear one another, your officiant and your witnesses during the ceremony.
Can our witnesses join from different places too?
Yes. Each witness must be at least 18 and able to participate live by video. They don’t need to be in the room with either of you.
Can we invite family and friends?
Yes. You can share your ceremony link with guests who would like to watch online. Your two witnesses still need to take part in the required ceremony steps.
What if we’re in different countries?
You can attend from different countries. Recognition abroad and immigration uses have their own requirements. Our international couples page explains the questions to consider.
What happens if our plans change?
Let us know. We’re happy to work with you to reschedule your ceremony, and our team can help if you want to change packages.
