Overall: main, ALT1 and ALT2 are all okay. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:40, 21 October 2020 (UTC) NB: What I don't get is how they could elope if he was already married. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review Hawkeye7. I was following the wording of the sources but I see that elopement has a wider meaning, not mentioned in our article, of running away as a couple without a subsequent marriage. See for example Merriam Webster which uses this situation in one of its definitions: "to run away from one's spouse with a lover". Though I guess usage in this form may vary between different variants of English - Dumelow (talk) 07:29, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
