Getting Married Online Is Now Legal In New York, Here's What You Need to Know...

On Thursday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson announced "Project Cupid," which will allow New Yorkers to obtain marriage licenses online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The project is a collaboration between Office of the City Clerk and the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to bring the marriage license process to the internet.

"Coronavirus has changed the world in so many ways but our ability to love and commit to each other hasn't wavered. Now couples ready to marry don't have to wait for the pandemic to end to say 'I do,'" Johnson said in a statement. "We deserve some good news and this is definitely wonderful news for all of New York City."

Next thing you know, people will be marrying clouds and servers and cell phones and maybe even marriage itself. Ain't natural for somebody to do that.
