Nikaah via text messages

Q: I have done a nikkah on message with my fiance without the presence of any witness but i took the snapshots of those messages as a proof but later after 8 months due to some misunderstandings i gave a tallaq to her later one more time i said "i end this relation right now in my full senses"(i didn't used the word tallaq second time) and later after one month due to misunderstandings i again gave tallaq 3rd time (by using the word tallaq) all these were done on messages i have snapshots of nikkah and tallaq as well and now we both are very afraid that if that nikkah was true or was acceptable according to shariah and if it is so the tallaq that i gave her was acceptable or not please help me out if both things were right then is there any way we both could be togather again and get the nikkah done or not??
