The 72 hour waiting period can be waived and very often is. If the paper waiver was not attached to the license when it was turned in (and it may have been, even though you didn't know it was), I don't think that would be a problem. The marriage is still legal.
If you are really worried about it, you can call the Office of Vital Records and ask them to look up the paperwork.
