Don't wait. Not having an SS card can cause headaches in many areas. Get it done while the I-94 is still valid.

You can get a SSN even before the wedding as long as there's still more than 2 weeks before your I-94 expires. If your I-94 have already expired, you will have to wait for your EAD/AP card before you can apply for a SSN.
