Hi John,
Ha ha ! I understand just what you are saying. It's a big thing to now change the name on everything.
Most people do not change their key documents into their new married names, and personally I totally agree.
It's absolutely not needed by UKBA at anytime.
Changing those documents in Phils can be a source of major problems due mainly to mistakes and potential long waiting times.

If your wife really wants to change her passport name, let her do it in UK when you are both safely together. Even then it's not at all necessary.

We've all been there John ha ha
