Bristol Palin And Fiancé Abruptly Call Off Wedding

[RandySF]

Bristol Palin and her fiancé Dakota Meyer have abandoned their plans to wed over Memorial Day Weekend, just two months after announcing their engagement.

"Bristol and Dakota couldn’t be more thankful for the love and support of family and friends over the past months while preparing for their wedding. They have informed loved ones that unfortunately the announced celebration planned for May 23 will not be held," Bristol's mother, Sarah Palin, wrote Monday in a Facebook post.

The former Republican vice presidential nominee included a message from Bristol Palin in her post. In the message, Bristol Palin addressed speculation that the wedding was called off due to Meyer's previous marriage:

Regarding salacious headlines in recent days about “secret wives”, Dakota and I discussed our past relationships prior to our engagement. Dakota was legally divorced years ago, as any good reporter could and should have disclosed to readers. As usual, false stories and dramatically written headlines begging controversy should be disregarded, and we have faith that our privacy will be respected at this time by those with decency. Thank you! – Bristol

Gossip site Radar Online reported over the weekend that Meyer, an Army sergeant and 2011 Medal of Honor recipient, married another woman in 2008. The website couldn't confirm whether or not the two had since been divorced.

[Javaman]

23. give it 5 minutes more and failin quitter will be milking it coast to coast for all it's worth...

leaving Bristol in the dust.

[HassleCat]

33. As usual

"Leave us alone and don't say stuff about us. Until we need another hit from the publicity bong."

[tanyev]

12. I suspect that is the first time the word salacious has appeared

in something Bristol Palin has supposedly written.

[libdem4life]

13. Oh please, who isn't giggling and face palming? Palin Entertainment Values. n/t

[SoCalDem]

[UTUSN]

17. R#5 & K for bwah-ha n/t

[xmas74]

19. I'm no fan of the family

but it's better for all involved to call it off before then to go through with it and be miserable. I do believe that and I believe it's the best advice for anyone in that situation.

Whomever called it off should be relieved that they did it before entering a situation that is much harder to leave. I had a friend many years ago realize that, at the last minute, she wasn't ready. I told her not to do it but everyone else pointed out the money spent, how it was expected of her and that she'd have plenty of time to grow into her role as a wife and (soon-to-be) mother. Eighteen months later she's scraping every penny together for a divorce attorney.

There are things I'll laugh at and things I won't. This I won't.

[HERVEPA]

30. Sorry, but DU rules clearly state that no serious posts are allowed on a Palin family thread.

[xmas74]

39. I know but something happened here and chances are someone is broken hearted right now.

I can sympathize with them, no matter how nasty and vile they might be.

In a normal situation of this type there'd also be a huge monetary loss from all the planning of the wedding. In this case I'd bet Sarah got most of it donated. If she did I'd have to give her credit for being wily enough to do so and, at the very least, it won't hurt monetarily. She's still a horrible person but damn if a nice wedding isn't expensive nowadays.

Anyway, I feel sorry for them right now and hope that they move on quickly. I can do so today because I know that in a week or two someone in that family will do something disturbing that makes me angry or say something so stupid that I shake my head and wonder how idiots make it beyond birth.

[HERVEPA]

41. Schadenfreude. Fuck 'em.

[xmas74]

42. I try to find something good in everyone.

Some say it's my best trait while I personally think it'll be my eventual downfall.

[HERVEPA]

44. Nothing good in these grifters

I don't of course, normally take pleasure in the misfortunes of others, but ion the case of people like these, why not.
I do hope it's not your downfall.

[B2G]

43. You're a much better person

than some on this thread.

[cwydro]

46. Thank you for this post.

Du gets all outraged when the Tea Party attacks the children of OUR candidates, but THEIR candidate's kids are fair game.

Palin is not even running.

Hypocrisy. It's what for breakfast, lunch, and dinner around here.

[Binkie The Clown]

20. Is lack of follow-through genetic?

Momma quits on the governor's job, daughter quits on the marriage thing. Somebody should take a DNA sample and isolate the "quitter's gene".

[Javaman]

22. secretly recorded conversation...

Dakota: I just...I just can't do this...

Bristol: Look I know my family is totally screwed up. I mean I used to be a Democrat until my mom beat it out of me...

Dakota: no, it's not that, well, maybe it kinda is...

Bristol: what do you mean?

Dakota: you can't leave me alone in a room with your mom, she keeps hitting on me!

[vankuria]

26. Lol...

Good one! I heard the young man was already married to someone else? Well, I'll give them the privacy they requested...while they blow up social media, give interviews, post pics and use it to their advantage.

[Javaman]

47. you know failin won't let go of this.

she will milk it for all it's worth.

[Arkana]

24. Shocking. Let me guess--this one get her pregnant too?

[Doctor_J]

25. The Kardashians of the north almost lived in the white house

[vankuria]

27. Don't insult the Kardasians!

[libodem]

28. Of Course

She figured out her name would be Bristol Myers and her nick neame would be Squibb.

[peacebird]

31. Snap! Love it!

[libodem]

35. .

[jen63]

29. Oh snap! Bristol would have

Bristol Meyer, and they could have named their kid Squibb.

[libodem]

36. Did you notice

We had the same idea at the same time...jinx.

[jen63]

45. I owe you a coke!! LOL n/t

[maxrandb]

32. Here, I fixed the quote for her

"As usual, stories about fake people, pretending to be serious politicians and dramatically written headlines where we, the Palins beg for relevancy should be disregarded, and we have faith that our lamestream media will eventually ignore us, if they had any respect or decency. Thank you! – Bristol"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]
