Check with your wedding officiant to make sure that you will actually receive a marriage certificate right after your wedding. It's been a long time since I got married, and this probably varies from state to state, but I recall that our certificate had to be filed with the state immediately and we received the official copy in the mail a few weeks later. We did bring along a copy of the marriage LICENSE, which essentially showed that we applied to get married, but the CERTIFICATE is the official document. As you still have a bit of time, please check, or get your fiance's name changed back to her maiden name on the travel docs.I hope I haven't worried you unnecessarily. Please let us know how it turns out.Most of all, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
