The Love Story of Ethan and Olivia — And How They Got Married Online from Opposite Sides of the World

Hi there! I want to tell you about a couple that really stuck with us — Ethan and Olivia. Their story is the perfect example of how powerful love and technology can be when they work together.

Ethan was stationed in Japan with the U.S. military. Olivia was finishing school in New York. After months of juggling time zones, FaceTime calls, and future plans, they decided it was time to make their relationship official — but there was one big challenge: they couldn’t be in the same place.

Luckily, they found our service at Virtual Same Day Marriage, and within 48 hours, they were legally married online in a fully recognized Zoom wedding ceremony — and it all started with a few clicks.


Why Ethan and Olivia Chose to Get Married Online

For Ethan and Olivia, waiting months for a traditional wedding just didn’t make sense. They were in love, they were ready, and they needed a legal online marriage to begin filing immigration support paperwork for when Ethan returned home.

Here’s why they chose to get married online:

  • They were in two different countries
  • They needed a legal marriage certificate fast
  • Courthouse options weren’t practical with military schedules
  • They loved the idea of a personal, meaningful Zoom wedding with family watching online

How It Worked — Step-by-Step Process

They followed our How It Works process:

  1. Chose a package on our website and booked online
  2. Uploaded their IDs and filled out a secure form
  3. Scheduled their online wedding ceremony via Zoom
  4. Got married with a licensed U.S. officiant
  5. Received their digital marriage certificate immediately after the ceremony
  6. Ordered a hard copy with Apostille Service for international recognition
  7. Requested Certified Translations for future travel and legal use

What Happened After the Wedding

After the ceremony, Ethan and Olivia felt an instant sense of peace — and excitement. They were finally, officially married.

They started the green card application process using our Immigration Support, and Olivia used our Name Change Kit to update her name on bank accounts, licenses, and more.

Even Olivia’s grandmother was able to attend the virtual wedding from her living room in Florida — something that brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
