Wait where a bride runs out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abide

'wait' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a bride runs out' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'out' is a deletion indicator.
'bride' with 'r' taken away is 'bide'.
'a'+'bide'='ABIDE'

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for abide that I've seen before include "Endure, tolerate" , "Stay - suffer" , "Remain - tolerate" , "Stomach" , "Tolerate; live" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
