Calling all grammar nazis!!!

Didn't see one of these, and as someone who reads better than he writes, I will need help from the talented TFP crowd.

Let us say you want to refer to a couple in which one party, the wife has a hyphenated last name (ex: Jane James-Smith). Would it be John and Jane James-Smith, John Smith and Jane James-Smith, or John and Jane (James) Smith? I used the first and was corrected with the last, but now I think it may be the second.

Any help would be appreciated!
