Are you sure that you mean guardianship?  Or was she granted custody of you?  Termination of a guardianship that was put in place by the courts depends on the type of guardianship.  If the person for whom guardianship is put in place is considered totally or permanently disabled, guardianship can be for an "unlimited" duration.  But the guardianship can also be limited and you could check to see as many times it is in effect for only 5 or so years.  If it is still in effect  - and truly a guardianship - then she can have a say in your ability to marry.  Check and write back.  Good luck.
