Table of Contents

Nowadays, with online marriage on the rise, it’s safe to say we’ve seen it all. From virtual weddings that stretched across time zones to couples getting creative with Zoom backgrounds, there’s something truly magical about the unique ways love expresses itself online. Want to hear some of the weirdest online wedding requests we’ve ever helped make a reality? Grab a coffee—you’re in for a wild (and heartwarming) ride!

Zoom Weddings with Virtual Costumes

One of our favorite offbeat requests came from a cosplay couple who wanted to get married as their favorite movie characters—over Zoom! Not only did we work with them to personalize their virtual ceremony, but their guests tuned in fully decked out, too. It was a Zoom Marriage for the ages. If you need help making your wedding uniquely you, our Virtual Same Day Marriage service is all about flexibility.

The Pet Ring Bearer… Online!

Pets are family, and some couples take this to the next level: we’ve officiated an online wedding where the ring was presented by a couple’s cat (who faithfully delivered it to the laptop camera at the perfect moment). If you’re curious about adding a furry friend to your ceremony, check out our process for how it works—no request is too silly!

International Couples Who Meet in the Middle

Thanks to the power of virtual marriage, couples from opposite sides of the world can tie the knot—sometimes at 3 AM for one of them! We helped one fun duo create a blended wedding playlist to help keep everyone awake and dancing. International lovebirds, see our tips for immigration support if you’re planning to live together after you say “I do!”

A Celebrity Officiant via Video

Think your wedding officiant can’t be a surprise? Think again. We’ve coordinated with cameo celebrity ministers over Zoom for clients—because sometimes you want your favorite stand-up comedian to pronounce you married online! For an official touch, don’t forget your online minister can help you get your online marriage certificate in no time.

Unusual Backdrops and Custom Themes

From tropical beach scenes to outlandish outer space backgrounds, creative couples love setting “the stage” online. We once helped coordinate a ceremony where every guest picked a different fictional planet as their Zoom backdrop. Need help planning your own epic theme? Connect with us to brainstorm wild ideas!

Surprise Family Appearances

Some requests are all about family—like arranging a surprise guest appearance by a beloved relative halfway across the world, or helping a long-lost sibling “crash” the vows from a top-secret link. For family-first ceremonies, our team handles all the logistics with heart. See our testimonials if you want to know how others made it happen.
