"just married" or "just wed"?

Solution 1:

It's just one of those English things where there's a choice between Saxon-German or Norman-Latin words.

Wed is Germanic, meaning to wager/bet/promise; to marry comes from the Latin.

Solution 2:

Both "just married" and "just wed" mean the same thing.

In my experience, I have seen "just married" more than "just wed." A Google Ngram confirms the usage of just married as more frequent:

just married vs. just wed

Perhaps the shorter phrase was used to fit on the license plate.

You will also see "newlyweds" to refer to people who have just been married.
