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.
