<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Background: I've known my fiancé for a very long time as a friend (since I was 15) we dated for a few months and have been together for a year when he asked me to marry him. He is the nicest guy I've ever met and I have no doubts I want to spend the rest of my life with him. 

My parents were shocked, saying we haven't dated long enough, we're young, I'm still in school, he has an ok job but not great (limited benefits, whereas my dads benefits that I have now are great)  along with other things. My dad was also upset my fiancé didn't ask his permission before even asking me. 

We were going to wait about 4 to 5 years before we got married so I can finish school and we can save up for the wedding, but we were talking and I realized having a big wedding isn't important to me and we can just go to city hall one day just to make it legal and that would be good enough for me. 

Recently my financial advisor at school told me I had reached the limit of government loans. I can still receive grants but they are hard to get and I don't get much. I cannot afford school without loans, even while I'm paying half of it out of pocket now. I told him that I'm engaged and he said after getting married I will be eligible for more loans and grants. Because of this we've been thinking of getting married sooner. This October actually. 

I haven't told my family yet in fear it will be another big emotional argument. My mom said she doesn't even care anymore, which makes me sad because I can't talk to her about my dress or other things about the wedding. 

I suppose I'm just looking for support or advise from people who have gone though a similar situation. My parents make me feel like there's something I'm not thinking of, that marriage is more then love (which I know) but maybe there's more then what I think
<bot>: my parents didn't approve when I told them about our long engagement(5years) - but now we want to get married even sooner(2months).
