Name change

Hello, I received my OD license this year and it was a lot of paperwork to get on the insurance panels (VSP and Medicare). I’m not ready yet to do it again but I am getting married this November. I am located in California. I know I should fill out my marriage license with the name I want to have and submit it, and I can do my name change later. I’ve heard some optometrist take their maiden name and put it as their middle name. I already have two middle names. Some legal stuff has both middle names, some has one, some has just one middle initial and some has no middle name. With those that moved their last name to their middle I heard that lets them practice without having to go through the relicensing/ insurance stuff. Is that true? Could I drop both middle names? Do I need to keep both or even 1 of them and add my maiden name? My maiden name is easier to say than my soon to be married name so I might want to continue to practice as my maiden name. I would appreciate any guidance with this.
TBH I want the route that has the least amount of paperwork, but I understand I might have to just deal with it.

Japanese maple tree

Hello, I grew up with a Japanese maple tree in my front yard. I am getting married in November and want to get a Japanese maple tree to use for our unity ceremony. However I know nothing about it other than it being pretty. I did not realize that there were different types, I saw that they like shade and morning sun. For the first year it will be in a pot until we move out of an apartment. Also where would the best place to purchase it? I saw that home depot can ship it. Any suggestions/advice I would appreciate it!
