If the word 'Elope' had an antonym, what would it be?

I think of eloping as running off to get married. Running off to get divorced? Isn’t that a Nevada Divorce?

In the 1939 George Cukor film The Women, they called it “getting RENOvated.”

Well, just to be a spoilsport I did a little (very little) research and these are antonyms for elope (per Antonymsfor.com): wait, stay, remain, continue, face, meet.

YMMV.
