The usual proof of marriage is the marriage certificate, and then maybe some documentary proof that the persons named in the marriage certificate are the couple in question.

See elsewhere how anyone can change their name in UK, without any formal paperwork, i.e. Isa Berk can change her name to Freda Smith.
agree! mine im still using my mum maiden name in my british passport and not my maiden name
