Marriage Question!

I am a non-traditional student. I just turned 24. I graduated hs in 2020, and took 3 years off to work full time, saving up to go to school for the the other 2 years, 1 year at CC (got an AAS) and 1 year at uni (no degree, but 1 year of credits).

I didn't use to qualify because I am middle class and my parents made "too much" but I never saw the "expected family contribution."

Now that I am 24, I am getting almost a full-ride to my new university based off high merit and financial need. I got engaged last fall, and we were originally wanting to wait to get married until I graduate in spring 2027. Now we are considering not wanting to wait as long and he wants to elope and have a formal ceremony later on at the time our original wedding was going yo be.

I want to do this!!! But I am worried it will affect my financial aid. Neither of us are working paid jobs right now (medical issues from overwork, among other things). However, he has a decent amount of savings and I don't, because my earnings always goes back to college...

I remember reading somewhere that FAFSA includes you and your spouse's income, your assets, and your spouses's SHARED assets. Since his savings is not joint with me, does that mean I am legally okay to not record his savings? I am self funding my education and have worked hard these past 5 years at jobs and my schooling to make my education happen.

I really want to get married to my forever person. Is this going to mess up my aid, or would it be okay? Otherwise, we have to wait two years and that really sucks:/
