Passport Validity Timeline - Wedding & Name Change

Just realized I may be in a bit of a pickle. I'll be getting married this November (2026). My passport expires March 2027. I was planning on renewing my passport after my name change following our wedding. Now, we're starting to plan our honeymoon and I'm realizing that the passport being about 4-5 months away from expiration at the time of our honeymoon may be an issue.

Should we just try to plan a U.S. trip? Will I be okay to travel as long as I ensure the country does not require a longer validity (for example I know most of Asia and the Middle East requires at least 6 months).

I don't really want to renew my passport now just to have to renew it again a few months later when my name is changed... but I will if I have to.

ETA: We were originally planning on a 'staycation' more local immediately following the wedding, then a longer Honeymoon sometime in 2027. Now, we're realizing this will be the only time our jobs will care... so we should do the honeymoon immediately after the wedding. Since we've just kind of changed our minds, I hadn't thought of this issue earlier.
