Breana Michel, of Owatonna, Minn., may have been 6,384 miles away from her groom, David Luedtke, a Marine stationed in Iraq.

But Skype bridged the gap for a very 21st century wedding, Associated Press reported.

The couple met Oct. 10, 2001, the old-fashioned way--at a barbecue while they were teens. They went their own ways, but reunited a year ago on Facebook. They became engaged while Luedtke was stateside. The Marine returned to Iraq.

The tech-struck lovers decided to get married over the internet via Skype.

"We viewed it as an opportunity more than anything," Michel told AP. "We were like, 'Oh my God, we can do it over Skype? Let's do it! We didn't want to wait. It's been seven years."
They ended that seven-year itch with a hitch on Skype.

The Marine had to rush off on a mission minutes after the ceremony ended.

And so love goes in the tech age.

Let's hope they stay in touch via Skype before he returns home for Thanksgiving.
