Hi Everyone,
Ten years ago, I had a small ceremony in a Catholic church to a non baptized person (a Jew - we got the required dispensation and I am aware that this marriage is not a sacrament). One week after we got married in the church we travelled across the country and had a Jewish ceremony for her side of the family. I later found out the ceremony was mostly symbolic and not binding, but we did exchange vowels in front of people. I recently read that this raises concerns for a sacramental marriage in the church. Does this act also raise concerns for a non sacramental marriage in the church? Does it make it invalid or a sin??
Thank you for any (name removed by moderator)ut

The question you are asking is one of canonical licitude, not of validity nor (after the fact) morality.

Your marriage is natural, binding, and valid.

Frim my understanding, it would not be licit, but you didn’t know that at the time, so don’t worry about it.

As far as I know, any marriage in a Catholic Church is a sacrament?
