UK, Ireland / Polish English marriage in England- advice please [21]

I hope it all worked out for you. The Church would have no problem marrying you because, as a baptised Catholic, your marraige outside the church was not recognised. I tend to find that it is people's perceptions rather than the Church itself that is the problem. I cannot tell you how many times people have told me they didn't get married in Church because of the Church's teaching - when it was not, and never had been, the Church's teaching. It is what we priests call Cod Theology and drives us to despair..
