Completely agree. As someone who has cut it extremely close on getting a new passport, it is not something I would recommend (especially right after your wedding).
If you do decide to change it before, by then it would be completely under United's control. I believe there is a $150 fee for changing the name on a ticketed reservation. It might be up to the discretion of a supervisor on whether they will actually charge it due to it being the same passenger.
