1. elope

   Elope refers to the act of two people running away together secretly in order to get married, typically without the consent or knowledge of their families or others. Elopement may also imply that the couple does not plan to return or intend to live in secrecy. However, in modern usage, it can also refer to a small, quick, and simple marriage ceremony without an elaborate celebration or reception.
