Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In the incident you describe, hurmat al-musāharah has not taken place.[1] Hence, it has not affected your marriage or the marriage of your parents.

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best

[1] أسباب التحريم كثيرة، من جملة ذلك النسب، ومسائله معروفة. ومن جملة ذلك المصاهرة، قال محمد رحمه فى الأصل: إذا وطئ الرجل امرأته بنكاح أو ملك أو فجور حرم عليه أمها وابنتها هو محرم لهما لأنه لا يجوز نكاحها. وحرمت على آبائه وأبنائه، وكما تثبت هذه الحرمة بالوطي تثبت باللمس والتقبيل والنظر إلى الفرج بشهوة سواء كان بنكاح أو ملك أو فجور عندنا إذا كان المحل مشتهاة، ولا تثبت هذه الحرمة بالنظر إلى سائر الأعضاء وإن كان عن شهوة (المحيط البرهاني، إدارة القرآن، ج٤ ص٨٦)
أما الأخ والأخت فأصولهما وفروعهما حرام عليهما بالنسب، فلا يثبت من لمس أحدهما الآخر بالشهوة حرمة جديدة
