She eloped with Mr. Wickham, which is a great shame and disgrace. Mr. Darcy, as Elizabeth finds out later, had much to do in fixing it and making it a proper wedding....which of course makes Elizabeth's respects for him elevate.
She and Wickham had been living together in London. If they returned home unmarried it would be a disgrace.
Lydia and Wickham first meet in the town of Meryton in Pride and Prejudice.
Lydia and Wickham go first to Longbourne to visit her family. After the visit, they go to Newcastle, where Wickham is to join a regiment in which he has a commission.
Lydia's actions in "Pride and Prejudice" can be characterized as impulsive and reckless. She elopes with Mr. Wickham without considering the consequences, causing distress to her family and tarnishing their reputation. Her behavior highlights her immaturity and lack of judgment.

Catherine (Kitty) , Lydia and then the youngest is Mary.
Jane, in a letter.
Kitty and Lydia Bennet in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are primarily interested in flirting with the military officers stationed in the town. They enjoy the attention and thrill of the flirtation, which eventually leads Lydia into a scandalous elopement with Mr. Wickham.
In the 1995 miniseries of Pride and Prejudice, Lydia is shown standing at the window of the room she shares with Wickham in London, and suddenly she sees Darcy outside.This does not happen in the book or any other screen production that I know of.
The Bennet family appears in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice."
In Pride and Prejudice, sibling rivalry refers to the competition or animosity between sisters Mary, Lydia, and Kitty Bennet, as they vie for attention and recognition within their family. This rivalry is prominent in their interactions with each other and in their pursuit of eligible suitors.
For Lydia, eloping brought disgrace on herself (though she was too stupid to realize it) and her family. It also set her family into a turmoil of worry and confusion, as they searched for her in London. Lydia has run off with a man who does not care much for her, and who is completely uninterested in marrying her because he knows he can get a lot of money by marrying an heiress. We do not see it in Pride and Prejudice, but Lydia is on track to the same end as Eliza Williams in Sense and Sensibility, who is abandoned, or her mother, who was passed from man to man until she died as a young mother in a poor house (sounds more like Dickens than Austen).In any event, Lydia's marriage is a fun project for her that she will pay for over the long haul, living with an unreliable man who disrespects and dislikes her.
