Announcing Mr. and Mrs. Ervin

Brandon and Julie Marie Ervin

Yep, that's right! My younger brother married a Julie. Hmmm. Luke and I maintain the originality! I am so happy for these two, though! I have never seen a couple quite so in la-la land on their wedding day. They are truly in love and will have such a great life together. And I love Julie. She is such a sweet heart and is so fun to be around. She is a great addition to our family.

And the best part of the day is that all of my family was in the temple together for the first time. It was possible for our wedding, but Brandon was still on a mission and so we missed him. I keep telling my mom that she is a rarity. Not only does it not happen very often that all of your kids can go to the temple, but all of them did, together on the same day. I hope we get to back to the temple as a family soon to do service. It was such a great experience to look around and see all of my brothers and sisters and their spouses.

The sealer that married Brandon and Julie had some great advice and some wonderful things to say to this new young couple. I think the piece I took with me was that it was the duty and responsibilty of the wife to always honor and support her husband in all that he does. It may be a new calling, a new job, a move across the country, or something really crazy. But no matter what, the wife needs to support him in his life and be there for him. What powerful words! I will remember this wedding forever!
