Matt, you did the right thing! I was in the same boat before I got married 7 years ago. I had a 2000 Maxima I was making payments on, but I had no savings in the bank to pay for my honeymoon, and it was really tight with the mortgage payments. So, I tried selling it privately for a while, and it didn't go. I wound up selling it back to the dealership for a loss, paid the balance on my loan, and had some $$ in the bank. Then I bought a beater $1200 Olds Cutlass and drove it a year and a half until I got on my feet again.

Good luck with everything!
