secret wedding
Hidden marriage ceremony
A secret wedding is a marriage ceremony conducted privately, with the couple deliberately concealing it from family, friends, or the public.
The secrecy might stem from disapproval, legal complications, or simply a desire for privacy: They had a secret wedding in Vegas before the formal ceremony.
Celebrity secret weddings often become news when eventually revealed.
