Alice is facing an Arranged Marriage with someone she doesn't love at all. Her parents are dead set on this marriage, and she can't talk her way out of it, but she certainly can't stand to go through with it. So what's left? Running away, of course. This is a common plot device for the Rebellious Princess, either as her backstory or as a threat she's facing (especially if the Hero has become her love interest). If Alice waits until the wedding ceremony has actually begun to make her escape, she's a Runaway Bride. Contrast Parental Marriage Veto. |

Wonder Woman (1942): Abigail Keating's fiance John Hunter ran away the night before their wedding to live a life of crime as the master thief Lon Logix. She lived the rest of her life pining after him, and it is very heavily implied her "niece" Ursula is actually her daughter with John. | |

Talia, the main character of the original Heralds of Valdemar trilogy, does this, although she left before being assigned a specific bridegroom. She was thirteen at the time. Kethry from the related Vows and Honor duology was a year or two younger when her old nurse smuggled her from the home of the new husband her brother found for her. Unfortunately it was after the marriage and consummation of same. |

Ranma ½: In the first chapter, it initially looks like Ranma Saotome might become this to Akane Tendo, given that he's expressed no interest in her and openly stated that he considers finding a cure far more important than getting a girlfriend. Of course, his (currently her) plans to leave are curtailed when Akane knocks him/her out cold with a table for insulting Akane's (lack of) figure compared to his/her cursed form. When Ranma comes around, he first gets enrolled in school, then caught up in the chaos, so he forgets all about it. By the end of the manga, Ryoga Hibiki is an unwilling version. He wants to be around his newfound love interest and accidental fiancee Akari Unryuu, but his non-existent sense of orientation means he can rarely even find her. |

In Sluggy Freelance Torg is more than a little freaked out when mind controlled assassin Oasis tries to force him to marry her. He tries running away, but Oasis is always one step ahead of him with chains, threats of violence, and "distracting nudity." Fortunately for him, despite her elite assassin skills, Oasis seems to die quite easily. Unfortunately, she keeps coming back. | |

Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Prince Michalis of Macedon tried to arrange a marriage between himself and the White Magician Girl Lena, a young woman whose foster father is of a very noble house. Lena greatly disliked the power-hungry Evil Prince, however; she turned Michalis' proposal down and ran the HELL away from him. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Astrid ran away from home rather than be forced into a marriage. Since the man her parents wanted her to marry is Senator Lekain, who is eventually revealed as a genocidal monster, this is entirely understandable on her part. |

This is part of Kyrie's back story in Umineko: When They Cry. She ran away from the Arranged Marriage to marry the protagonist Battler's father, Rudolf. It should be noted that she'd been in a relationship with Rudolf for a while, even when he was married to Battler's mother, Asumu (Or not). Unfortunately, this resulted in her younger sister Kasumi being forced to marry the fiance. Having already promised herself to someone else, she's pretty miffed about that. And considering how Kyrie dies on Rokkenjima, the grudge is transferred to Kyrie's daughter, Ange. | |

Bath Tangle actually has a subversion, of sorts: the hero's unwanted fiancée runs away from him...and then is persuaded to go back by the heroine, who argues that a loveless but comfortable marriage to the hero (who isn't nearly as horrible as he seems) is much better than a hasty elopement with the hero's poorer nephew. | |

Princess Seraphine in Puzzle Quest, an optional party member. Kinda understandable since her calculating father wanted to marry her to a tribe of barbarians to stop them from raiding his kingdom. Also, his poor treatment of the player character just asks you to interfere. However, since she's optional, it's also perfectly possible that she gets married if the player doesn't help her. | |

Millay of Suikoden IV fled Middleport when Schtoltenheim Reinbach II planned to make her marry his son. Her parents approved of the marriage; she didn't, so she made a break for it. Your hero happens to meet her just as Reinbach II's goons track her down — ironically enough, this is also the first time Schtoltenheim Reinbach III meets her, and he's blissfully unaware of the situation until after they've helped her out. Then he's completely horrified at his father's terrible deeds, and apologizes profusely. | |

In Rune Soldier Louie, Melissa ran away from an arranged marriage and even became a priestess to Mylee, the God of War, to make sure her parents couldn't force her back. Although Melissa found her calling in serving Mylee as a White Magician Girl/Combat Medic who's supposed to partner with a divinely chosen Adventurer Hero, her bad luck with men still screwed her over and she got stuck in an Arranged Marriage-like situation with an Idiot Hero she can neither stand nor walk away from. This is made worse by the fact that, while there's no rule that says a Priestess of Mylee must hook up with her Champion, it happens so often that she's afraid that people will assume she and Louie are an item just from that, a misconception that Melissa vocally denies at every turn to the point it becomes her catchphrase. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: No one's a hundred percent clear on the events surrounding Rhaegar and Lyanna, but one version - the nicest version - is that she abandoned her betrothal to Robert to be with him. Alys Karstark flees to the Wall to escape her arranged marriage to her Cregan Karstark, who is maybe three times her age, her cousin, and has had his last two wives die. She believes that she'll suffer a similar accident once they're married, allowing Cregan to become lord of Karhold. She is not opposed to arranged marriage in principle though, and marries Sigorn, Magnar of Thenn, the ruler of a wildling tribe she's never met, to foil Cregan's succession plans, give herself her own little army, and give the newly created House Thenn some legitimacy. |

Clarisse in The Castle of Cagliostro bailed when the guards left her room to allow her to change into her wedding dress (presumably to rehearse the ceremony). But in spite of Lupin's efforts, she was recaptured, and this time imprisoned in a tall tower. One that could only be entered via a retracting bridge or a hatch on the roof. Other features included grenade-proof glass. | |

In Game of Thrones, Lyanna Stark is revealed to have been this in Season 7. Her father betrothed her to Robert Baratheon, but Lyanna didn't love him and instead eloped with Prince Rhaegar. It's deconstructed, as everyone assumes Lyanna was kidnapped and before this could be corrected, Rhaegar's father killed Lyanna's father and eldest brother when they demanded her return, which set off a civil war that got Lyanna's husband killed at the hands of her former betrothed, and Lyanna herself died giving birth to Jon Snow. | |

Just before the ceremony is to start in the movie Arthur (1981), the title character and his lover Linda go to his fiancee Susan to tell her the wedding's off. Susan's father tries to kill the lovers and is only stopped by Arthur's grandmother - but he does beat Arthur up enough that he's black and blue when he explains to the guests what's happened and then passes out on the altar. | |

In Pokémon: The Original Series, it is eventually revealed that James of Team Rocket ran away from home to escape marriage to the insane and sadistic Jessebelle. While he did have feelings for her at one point, he loved his Growlie (his only friend, a pet Growlithe) even more, and her attempt to get the dog out of the equation was the breaking point. (Ironically, not only is Jessebelle's name similar to James' partner Jessie, the two look very much alike, and have a similar bossy attitude. This is usually pointed out by fans as "proof" of his feelings for Jessie, but overlooked on the show.) | |
