pre-reg question

This year('09) was my fifth Dragon*con, and I've always tried to get my pre-reg application in by the first deadline, so as to get the best price. For next year's con, though...I'm afraid I might have hit a snag. I'm hoping not, but wanted to double-check, and figured someone else might have one or both of the same questions, so...*shrug*

As I'm getting married in January, changing my last name and moving to another state...what would be my best bet as far as membership goes? When I apply for membership do I put the new name on the application even though it won't be my legal name for another two months, or do I put the "old"(current) name on there and then pester someone after it changes?

Also, with the mail thing, I seem to recall that the first round of postcards generally goes out around February? If this is the case, then my address will be changing between when I would normally send in paperwork/payment, and I will most likely not know the new address by that deadline.

If I register pre-wedding will I have to do extra paperwork and pay a transfer fee to change the name my badge is under? Am I better off just waiting and paying the higher price later on? I remember a post this past year about sending in the proper information later on with memberships purchased online, is that something I can do?

Thanks!

D*Con 2009 was our honeymoon so I had similar situation. I registered in May but we got married August 1st. I had my maiden name on the tag for the weekend. I didn't bother to change it. I had a copy of my marriage license on me (I hadn't changed my credit cards over yet, but my driver license was new) so I just offered to show it when they were looking it up in the book. Is your town going to be the same? They seemed more concerned about my address than my last name being different.
