unwedded
Never walked aisle
Unwedded means unmarried or not joined in matrimony.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, appearing mostly in older texts or formal contexts: She remained unwedded throughout her life.
It carries a slightly more deliberate or poetic tone than simply saying single or unmarried.
