Your marriage certificate/certified copy of marriage certificate is your proof of name change.

Your I95 has to still be unexpired in order to change your name on ss card. They usually won't do it unless there are 14 days or more until I95 expires. If you're too late, the you'll have to wait until receiving EAD or greencard to change the last name. Since you've been married for 3 months, I expect you'll have to wait until getting EAD to change name with SSA. Same goes for the DMV/BMV.

You fill out AOS(and all other forms) with the name you'll be using in the future. If that's your married name, then all papers for AOS will be filled out with your married name. Again, your marriage cert. is proof of your name change. Bring the marriage cert. with you to the biometrics appointment in case they ask.
