Run away to get hitched (5)

I believe the answer is:

elope

(Other definitions for elope that I've seen before include "Run away in secret" , "Run off with Mr/Ms Right" , "Run away together" , "do a moonlight flit" , "Run away to wed" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
