Getting Married Fast: How to Tie the Knot in 48 Hours (or Less!)

By LoveLife  |  Posted August 7, 2025


So… You’re Ready to Say “I Do”—

Like, Now

Maybe you’ve got a big trip coming up. Maybe your visa situation just changed. Maybe you're in love and just done waiting.

Whatever your reason, sometimes love can’t wait 6 months for a venue or courthouse appointment. And honestly? It shouldn’t have to.

At LoveLife, we help couples get legally married fast—we’re talking within 24 to 48 hours, fully online, and 100% legit. No courthouse lines. No scrambling for a witness. No stress.


Can You Actually Get Married Online in Less Than 2 Days?

Yes.

Thanks to new marriage laws in certain U.S. states (like Utah), couples can get a legal U.S. marriage license and have a fully valid ceremony via video call—without even being in the same room.

At LoveLife, we handle the logistics so you can just show up and say, “I do".

    Get Your Marriage License Online (Same Day in Most Cases)

    Attend Your Virtual Wedding Ceremony (From Anywhere)

    Once your license is approved, we’ll conduct your legal ceremony via video call with a licensed officiant and witnesses (we provide them). You can dress up or stay cozy—what matters is that it’s real, meaningful, and legally binding.

    Invite guests, or keep it private. Either way, it’s all about you.

    We Handle the Filing—You're Officially Married

    After your ceremony, we make sure your paperwork is filed and processed. You’ll receive a digital and physical copy of your official marriage certificate directly from the state.

    Your marriage is recognized in all 50 U.S. states and internationally in many cases.

It was extremely easy to do and I had no issues with it. I set it up one day and got married the next.
