I am terrified; is my marriage invalid?

[hulahoop]

This is my first post here, and I thank you in advance for taking the time to read it.

I was married this past Summer to a wonderful man, but sadly, I was in a state of unconfessed mortal sin at the time of the wedding. My fear now is that due to this, my marriage is invalid and that I committed a grave sacrilege by receiving this sacrament in the condition I was in.

I also received the anointing of the sick while in the same unconfessed state.

Can anyone more scholarly than myself shed some light on this?

Thank you and God bless.

Hi,

If you were aware of entering into the sacrament of Matrimony in the state of mortal sin, then that was a mortal sin of sacrilege. But your marriage sounds valid.

If you were sorry for your sins, the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick removes mortal sin and its temporal effects.
