IF THAT MARRIAGE LICENSE HAS BEEN SIGNED BY A PREACHER THEN THAT MAKE IT LEGAL AS WELL AS IT MUST BE SENT INTO THE STATE TO BE PUBLIC RECORD. A License gives you permission to get married . a certificate means you have gotten married. I would compare it to a drivers license and actually driving a car. you are not a driver if you have never driven.

You may or may not be. You need to check at that county clerk's office. It is the officiant's obligation to return the marriage license to the issuing office so your license may have been returned and recorded without your knowledge. Generally, if the license is never returned there is no vital record made and thus no proof of the marriage.
Can a prior marriage license stop you from marrying someone?
I don't know what you mean by "ordained". Do you mean solemnized? If the marriage was never solemnized and you didn't behave as if it was, then no; you were never legally married, so there's no bar to you getting married to someone else. If it wasn't, but you acted as if it was ... we're in sticky legal territory; get a lawyer. If you were in a state that recognized common-law marriages, then you might be regarded as legally married. If you deceived your "spouse" into thinking the marriage was legit, then generally it's treated as if the marriage was legitimate in cases where benefits from being married accrue to them, and as not legitimate in cases where benefits from being married accrue to you.
