If I got remarried before the 30 day waiting period after signing the final decree was over, is my second marriage legal?

My wife and I just realized something. I was going through a divorce when I met her. The divorce dragged on for a year so once the final decree was signed, we drove got married at a courthouse. We now realize that we did this before the 30 days of the final decree reached their end. Are we legally married or is our marriage illegal?

AS far as I can tell, Flrodia does not have a waiting period for getting married after the decree is finalized.  Waiting periods are generally placed in statutes to allow time to appeal.  But you can appeal even with out a waiting period.  Good luck.
