RP BHB STUDENTS: Help FAFSA, wedding related question

I keep getting an error message on my online FAFSA since one question says 'What is the student's marital status as ot today?' Ok as of today single. Then there is a question that asks the student's family size for 2005-2006. Ok I am getting married this July so that is 2. The form doesn't let me enter this way since it says it can't be possible if today you are unmarried and have no dependents. I am going to have to try to talk to a real person tomorrow...anyone else been t hrought this (or a heads up if you are...)

You have to put your status for now, and then after you get married re-update it.

I would call YOUR SCHOOL's Fin. Aid Office. (i'm a guidance counselor at a HS, so whenever we have a question, we just call the school's Fin. Aid Office, b/c THEY will know what to do, and can also update their supplemental apps if nessacary.)
