Ferrell comes from a “close-knit” family. Her mom is the youngest of 14 children. The oldest child married Eblen, making him her uncle.
“We live close to each other and are lucky enough to spend a great deal of time together,” she explained. “I show him how to work Facebook and he tells me war stories — pretty cool trade if you ask me.” Eblen didn’t seek the spotlight on Ferrell’s big day, but it was hard not to notice the pride running through his veins.
To Ferrell, his presence was the best wedding gift she could have ever been given.
“It brought me a lot of joy to see him in his dress blues and so happy on my wedding day,” she said. “He makes me incredibly proud and I feel very honored to be his niece. He is an American hero in our family.”
