Man, if you do this, you are in for a ball of fire when the family finds out. Especially if you did it for finincial reasons. I'm sure you two are in love and all that good stuff, but what her parents are going to hear is you snuck away to save some money for school.
You toughed it out for this long. You can't put a dollar on the amount of wrath jilted parents can bring. You don't marry the girl, you marry the family.

BTW, her parents wouldn't let us live together, that's why we decided to get married.

Ask Britney how that worked out for her... 
Seriously, I think it's OK as long as you actually plan it in advance and don't just do the spur of the moment thing. That almost never works. I have a co-worker that did this just last month and suprised us all, but they had planned it an had been engaged for a couple of months, so they were pretty sure. Neither wanted a big to-do, and it saved them a ton of money.

The reason it would have to remain a secret is her parents. They are still funding part of her school, and would stop paying tuition if she were to get married.

Financial considerations are a big part of why we'd be doing it. We'd both qualify for more grants/loans for school if we were married (it doesn't make sense to me, either). Besides that, we both are just ready. The reason it would have to remain a secret is her parents. They are still funding part of her school, and would stop paying tuition if she were to get married. She'll be graduating in eight months and then we could have a big wedding without that being a problem.
