Was I ever really married?

I had a proposal come to me when I was 18, I told my parents I would like an engagement ceremony, as I knew that we were quite different personalities and we can see if we are compatible whilst engaged. I was studying at university and came home for the weekend, a few hours later the imam was at our house as they arranged a nikah, I approached my father stating I wanted an engagement to begin with.
