This is SO stupid, buttt -

Our venue's address is: 2 Young Road.

… I am getting married at Too-Young Road. I'm 23, FI is 35, and this is his second marriage. My family is absolutely the type to pick up on this and make harmless yet snarky jokes about me either being "too young" to be married or "too young" for him, and I'm worried his side might do the same. I don't believe anybody has genuine concerns about that, but I feel like the jokes could get old fast - especially on my side, who all have a very dry, occasionally borderline mean sense of humor.

I brought it up to my dad (I'm DIYing the invites and the address is just GLARING at me), and he suggested to just list it as "Young Road," as it's a small street and you can't miss our venue. Is this okay to do, or do I just have crazy wedding brain that's making me paranoid?

Responses appreciated, as always! :)

    It's funny and I think you should embrace it. Put the number on the invite.

    I definitely giggled about it myself when I first made the connection, and then bride-brain turned it into a problem. It's kind of nice to hear that it's just harmless and funny. ;)

    Ditto climbingwife.  Embrace it; it's cute! 

    One of my good friends has almost the same age difference with her H as you and your FI (12 years) and got married at the same age.  I don't think their parents knew the real ages of the SOs until they were engaged (both halves of the couple took a lot of shit from friends when they started dating at 19 and 31--neither of them wanted that criticism from their parents).  It all turned out great and the parents are all pretty much best friends now--his parents had him young, and her parents were older when they had her, so even though they have a big gap, their parents are all about the same age.

    If it were me, I'd probably put something like "we are just 2 lovebirds" or whatever and really over cliche it.

    For GPS sake put in the street number. I don't think I would read that address and come to some mea conclusion about being too young. Overthinking this one in my mind.

    I know how you feel. V is 29 and I'm 21. We have had problems mainly from my family. Everyone else hasn't brought up the age difference really. We both have the same goals, education path, ect. We hardly ever notice the age difference. I would put in the actual address and have your best eye roll ready.
