June 2018 Rock the secret marriage AU!

Sybil and Tom had met in university and they quickly hit it off. Before long they declared to their friends that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Most of Tom’s friends were those he had known since childhood from his village, whom he had gone to school with, whom he grew up with. They all knew each other incredibly well and they all had strong opinions that they weren’t afraid to voice. Tom’s friends all disapproved of his choice in girlfriend. Sybil was everything that Tom was against. She was from the oppressive class that Tom hated so much. Sybil’s friends, much like Tom’s, didn’t like their relationship. Tom wasn’t good enough for Sybil. A lower class man who had few prospects, Sybil’s friends believed Tom wasn’t good enough for Sybil when she was capable of landing a man so much more worth her time. But despite their friends’ loudly voiced opinions, Sybil and Tom refused to let their relationship dwindle. They kept their relationship quiet from their families for the fear that they would reject their love for each other like their friends did. Over time, their friends drifted from them, not wanting to spend time with them when they were together. Sometimes it felt as though Sybil and Tom had nobody in the world but each other, so they decided to make their bond official. Marriage felt like the next logical step. They were more in love than either of them had ever felt before and they knew that they were meant for each other. In order to preserve their feelings and their love for one another, they married in secret. A small ceremony between just the two of them, the day was quiet and intimate and it felt like there was no one else in the world but the two of them. Together. In love. Invincible.
