Hey Ashley -- don't let the whole 'everyone else is doing it' get you down. Just move at your own pace, and things will happen. Just as an aside, when I lived in the United States I noticed that people seemed to get married younger than I was used to. I just looked it up and it turns out that in Canada the average age is 28.2 for females and 30.2 for males vs around 25 and 27 in the USA nationally. Apparently the average age to marry in the US is also lower than most other developed countries, espeically Scandanavian countries, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. I guess my point is that if you lived anywhere else, the pressure to get married soon would be much less.
I don't know if that helps any, but I thought it might be good to know that, at least from a more global perspective, you're still on the right track!
