My wife had the same worry when we went away on our honeymoon.

My wife raised her concern with our travel agent who advised her to take her marriage certificate with her.

As long as your tickets and passport have the same name there shouldn't be a problem.

I got married nearly 5 years ago and my passport is still in my maiden name (as is my mobile phone and Credit Card - I'm just too lazy to get around to changing them!)

As oxfordrocks said as long as the name on your passpost and your tickets agree you should have no problems.

There are lots of women who do not change their names upon marrying (why should they ?) and in most countries in Europe there is not a thing irregular or illegal about it - in some countries anyone wanting to change her name from the one given/acquired at birth needs to make a special application for permission, whatever the circumstances (including marriage). As advised by others, so long as your (genuine) passport and tickets are in the same name there is no reason for anyone to object (nobody is likely to care whether you are married or not).
