[quote=Anonymous]OP, like you I am Christian and I was one of those people you grew up with. Got married at 21. Virgin. 
Sooooooo much to overcome from that mentality that I could write a whole book! I don't have a "we got divorced at 30" story. Still with my DH, but believe me when I tell you that it took a lot of ups and down and wading through some baggage because you change so much in your 20s.

Like other PPs have said, make a decision now to go and look your absolute fabulous best! Do this for YOU, not for anyone else. Though it doesn't hurt that a side effect of your glowing confidence will be that lots of positive comments will be thrown your way!

However, keeping in mind that I know this set well, you need a clever or witty response for the inevitably well-meaning remark. Meet the helpful "Larla...are we going to get you married off next?" with "Well, we'll see what the Lord has planned..." (mysteriously happy smile) ...
Or "Larla, be sure to get up there and catch the bouquet!" with "God helps those who help themselves, right Aunt Marge?" (big wink)

Just have fun with your "status" rather than be embarrassed by it--as it isn't anything to be embarrassed about. At all!
