In case different U.S. states have varying regulations, would it be permissible in any of: Iowa, Massachusetts, Rhode Island or Illinois?

No not here in the states. Both must be present, at the same location for a wedding to be complete. Sorry! Chaplain Debby

YES!! A friend of mine and her now hubby got married over the phone with her hubby in Iraq. They really wanted to be married. So they had a teleconference with two chaplains for legal reasons. Bing Bang Boom! It was all done. A year after they were legally married, they had a HUGE, I mean HUGE wedding. There must have been at least 300 people there. These two really are very happy.
I don't know about those states you just talked about,b ut I know it can be done. So go to the local base where you are, and ask to see a chaplain,and he needs to see one as well on his end. But yes it can be done.
Good Luck.

Almost never. Most states now require that both parties are physically present in front of the officiant. Plus, how would he get the marriage license?

I'm sure you can.... but if that ain't the tackiest thing I've heard of. But hey while the phone is handy, why not have phone sex? Kill two birds with one stone.

if you're getting MARRIED for love, then you should both be in the same damn room. if it's just for a green card, then you need to get a life and a visa.

all you need is a marriage license and your married. which not sure what that requires. probably both present and/or both signatures. you dont have to say vows to be married. thats a religious/personal choice
