Questions about name change petitions

This summer, I plan to get married and would like to have my preferred name listed on the marriage document. Should I change my name before the wedding, even if I will have to change my last name again after I marry? I intend to hyphenate our last names.

Additionally, I'm confused about the redaction form and how to fill it out. I’m unsure about how to redact my information and whether I need to submit both the redacted and unredacted versions to the court.

If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.
