However, this type of marriage ceremony isn't legally binding. In order for a marriage to be legal, a couple has to have a marriage license, which is granted by legal entities. In most areas, marriage licenses can be obtained through the local County courthouse, City Hall, Provincial or Magistrate offices, or a department such as a Registrar of Marriages.
Why do people want to get married on the Internet? Some couples make the decision to wed on the Net for fun and to create memories. Others marry this way because it is the only way they can tie the knot due to their circumstances such as being in separate countries, under age, or couples wanting to have a same sex union.
Another reason couples use the cyber chapels is to facilitate the participation of friends and family who live too far away to come to their real wedding ceremony. Other couples go to the chapels to renew their legitimate marriage vows and to share that recommitment with far-flung acquaintances and relatives.
There all are kinds of cyber chapels on the Net. Some are more serious than others; some have great music, others have some pretty horrid tunes; some are just fluff and others have more content and provide marriage certificates which are not legal documents.
REMEMBER... a cyber marriage in a cyber chapel is NOT a legal marriage.
