My fiancée and I will both be matriculating into medical school in the fall (glutton for punishment, I know). We are hoping to get married this summer before medical school or after the first year.

My question is whether or not there is any way to pay for most of the wedding expenses (some of the expenses will be covered by family) wrapped in with student loans for medical school? From what I have read, the student loans are pretty limited to educational expenses, but I have also read some people who say that they do not care what the money is used for because you are paying it back eventually anyways. I wanted to see if anyone knew of any way to do this or had done this.
Most people I have talked to had parents paying for the expenses but our parents cannot cover all of them so this is not an option.
