Surname match doesn't matter.

Make sure:
- Your name on the marriage certificate matches with your name on passport.
- Your passport bears your husband's name rather than your father's name [I'm not very sure about this]

yeah as TLL said,surname dosent matter, you just need ot provide marriage certificate with your husband and your name. The names in the certificate must and should be as in your passport. One of my friend recently got married and he applied VISA using marriage certificate. No names were changed in in wife passport.
