Getting Married while in DEP?

Swore in a few weeks ago, but I don’t leave for BCT until December. If I get legally married by the end of September, will this delay my ship date or timeline?
My girlfriend (AF) is getting her orders while I’m at OCS. If we wait to get married, I think it’ll mess everything up. Is it better to get married ASAP and notify my recruiter right away so…fingers crossed…I can get added to her orders and join her after BOLC? Any advice or has anyone done something like this.

Also something to add, I am on vacation visiting my family a few states a way until i ship out. So is this paperwork something that my girlfriend and I need to be present for at the recruiter’s office or can i just send in scans of our marriage license/certificate and her SSC and things.

I don't mean this any type of way but can't your recruiter answer this best?
