It was as if taking wedding vows, but done informally. A series of promises followed by "I do's". I was very excited about consecrating my heart to the Blessed Mother's, but I didn't know about these miracles associated with the Brown Scapular. Your stories have reinvigorated me.  I was invested into the Brown Scapular a day after the Fatima Statue visited our parish about 5 years ago. It was as if taking wedding vows, but done informally.

Going by the little information at hand, I would advise you to have another priest actually invest you in the scapular. Clive: It does not sound to me like he invested you.
