If your marriage is legally recognized where you reside then you need to draft a new Will.
There are two important issues related to your query. First, you need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction to determine if common law marriage is legally recognized. There are only a few states in the United States that recognize common law marriage and the stipulations and benefits are different in each state. You need to find out if your marriage is legal.
As for your Will: Generally, Wills written prior to a legal marriage are considered void in some jurisdictions. If your marriage is legal in your jurisdiction your Will may be voided by the marriage and you need to write a new Will. You need expert advice from an attorney who specializes in probate and family law in your particular jurisdictions. You have two very important issues.

Why do early marriage can result to annulment?
A Catholic annulment is only available to someone who can prove that no valid marriage ever existed the first time around. Early marriage would have no bearing on the matter. Added: A legal annulment can occur when one party can prove that the marriage was not entered freely and voluntarily. For example, if one party was under the influence or married under duress. Sometimes a very young person who is married can show that he/she entered the marriage at the insistence of another person and felt that he/she did not have a choice, and will therefore assert that the marriage was entered under duress and seek an annulment.
