Accept a woman on her wedding day has run off? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abide

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accept' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a woman on her wedding day has run off?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'woman' could be 'de' and 'de' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abide that I've seen before include "brook" , "Endure; dwell" , "Stay or endure" , "Live, dwell (archaic)" , "Hack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
