Colorado's self-solemnization means you marry YOURSELF - there's no officiant, no ceremony, no vows. You obtain a Colorado marriage license (usually requires in-person application) and then just sign it yourselves. It's purely paperwork. Utah's online marriage provides a REAL wedding ceremony with a licensed officiant who leads you through vows, rings, pronouncement, and a meaningful celebration via video. Most couples want the ceremony experience, not just paperwork.

Colorado's self-solemnization requires obtaining a Colorado marriage license, which has varying residency and in-person requirements by county. Utah's program has NO residency requirement and works from anywhere in the world. Plus, you get a real ceremony instead of just signing paperwork.
