I am going to write a fanfiction about the wedding and the time leading up to the wedding of Sybil and Branson from Sybil's point of view.
Mr and Mrs Branson- The Night before the Wedding
I am sitting here in Tom's mothers house in the heart of Dublin surrounded by his family. I am sitting at an old wooden table in the centre of a stone room where there is a fire gently burning in the corner. There is Celtic music being played and ghost stories are being told. People are drinking, laughing and singing and for once in my life I feel as if I belong. I saw the happiness on these people's faces and the joy spilling out from their eyes. They were all having a hard time but that didn't matter right now. They were just making the most of this moment. They didn't care about tomorrow or the consequences of tonight. They were simply enjoying themselves.
Even though this place was strange it wasn't uncomfortable. This felt like the place that I was supposed to be. I felt the safest I had ever felt in this room surrounded by drunk singing Irishmen. When I think back to the security of my childhood nursery or the embrace of my parents as a child I couldn't remember a feeling like this one. A feeling of pure contentment and love. This is the place I had been searching for for my whole life. These were my people and they didn't care who I was. I had no station I was free to be the person I had always dreamt of being.
Just as I was thinking these thoughts I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Tom's hand resting on my shoulder. He grabbed my hand and lead me outside. We just looked up staring at stars for several moments. I breathed in the fresh air and turned to look into the eyes of the man who would soon be my husband. He stared right back and said " I can't wait until you are mine, and I am yours.' I smiled back at him said ' I can't wait either.'
I nuzzled my face into his chest breathing in his scent. I wanted that smell to last forever, I wanted this moment to last forever. I couldn't believe that tomorrow I would no longer be Lady Sybil Crawley daughter of the Earl and Countess of Grantham but Mrs Sybil Branson wife of Mr Tom Branson.
I hope you enjoy this story I will make a part two of the wedding day and a part 3 including the wedding night.
