No. That means that if, as an example, that your interview was in August of 2008 and the visa issued that month, your passport would have to be valid for at least 6 months after that date, or Feb. 2009. You'll be fine and may as well wait to renew it with your new married name.

I truly don't mean to be a bearer of bad news, but according to most timelines and paths down the visa journey most of us have come, you probably are looking at a May 2008 interview date, barring any special circumstances. I will wish and pray for your speedy journey, but keep your faith up, some day you will get the words you have waited for ... "Your interview date is...." Also, according to a few phone calls to the USEM... most K visas are interviewed the first of the month.
