Here is another interesting word I've learned recently:
to elope = to run away with intention of getting married
According to Wikipedia, "Today the term "elopement" is colloquially used for any marriage performed in haste or in secret with no guests; it is even sometimes used for well-attended and elaborately-planned marriages which occur away from home."
I think it's really interesting: there's no such word in Russan, for example.
If I ever get married, I'll make my wedding an elopement in some sense :)
