About to get married this weekend... And apply for AOS shortly after. However I wish to change my last name. Is it okay, in anyone's experience, to go ahead and apply for a new passport in my married name before AOS? My visa is in my current last name. Will this mess things up??

Apply for AOS in your new married name so your greencard will have you name you want to go by. It is like starting over so does not have to match the petition and visa.

Do not renew your passport just yet because you will need it for ID. A new one requires mailing your passport off to the UK and having no passport maybe 6-8 weeks. Use your marriage certificate with current passport to show the legal name change
