One thing leaps out at me here: I don't think you really want to make the first and last name unique -- anyone named Smith in your system? Any others?

It might be instructional for you to post the controller that handles this form, I don't see anything wrong here, except unless you are adding the sender_uid in that controller, I don't see it being added to the params in the form anywhere.

I think you may be missing something in the controller then, that's the only thing I haven't seen yet, and everything so far has seemed reasonable.
