My understanding is that your legal name is that on your Social Security Card and it does not change until you go to the SS office to do it. To do that, you have to have your marriage licence and get a new driver's license and then take that to the SS office for a new name change. Only once you get your new card in the mail can you change your name with your employer for payment purposes. That's how it went for me. Lots of long lines...
