VIRTUAL AND PROXY WEDDINGS.

Virtual Wedding

Virtual weddings are ceremonies where the couple, officiant, and witnesses are in different locations. Everyone takes part via video chat platforms like Zoom.

Proxy Wedding

Proxy weddings are ceremonies where a stand-in stands in for either the bride or groom. In a double proxy wedding, both partners have stand-ins. The couple and officiant are in different locations. The couple joins the ceremony via video chat and speaks for themselves while the stand-ins exchange rings.

  • The bride and groom can use an online video platform to participate and speak for themselves. They may or may not be in the same location. An officiant in Utah leads both types of ceremonies. Both result in a marriage certificate that does not mention the online aspect, making it appear like any other wedding ceremony.

    An Apostille is needed for other countries to recognize a US marriage, except for Canada, Mexico, and the UK, which do not need extra paperwork.

  • Some countries accept proxy marriages but do not accept virtual marriages. Some will allow a proxy marriage but not a double proxy marriage. It's important to understand the marriage laws of any country where you want your marriage recognized. For instance, Germany accepts proxy marriages but not virtual weddings. Proxy ceremonies involve more people and require a stand-in for the bride or groom.
