elopers
Secretive wedding couple
Elopers are people who elope—who run away secretly to get married, typically without parental consent or an elaborate ceremony.
The term usually appears in contexts of romantic spontaneity or family disapproval: The elopers drove to Vegas and were married by midnight.
It can also refer more broadly to anyone who runs off or escapes.
