I don’t think there are any easy answers for you then. The usual advice to someone in your situation is to either
1) book tickets in maiden name and travel the entire trip in maiden name, then change passport when honeymoon travel is complete; or
2) change passport before travel and book in married name.
That said, since you have gone a different route by booking in both names, I would be prepared for questions both from airline check in agents and from security and immigration throughout your travel as names don’t match. Oftentimes having the marriage license with you will help.

With so many different airlines involved in a rtw ticket it becomes quite difficult to change names on a ticket mid-journey.
