Bristol Palin calls off her wedding
The Hill ^ | May 18, 2015 | Judy Kurtz

Bristol Palin and fiancé Dakota Meyer are calling off their wedding, which was set to take place this weekend.

Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin announced the cancellation of her daughter’s nuptials in a Monday Facebook post, writing the couple has “informed loved ones that unfortunately the announced celebration planned for May 23 will not be held.”

Palin wrote that, although it won’t be a walk down the aisle, a shindig of some sort will still go on: “Many friends and family still look forward to getting together that day in Kentucky anyway — and the Palins and Meyers are happily looking forward to still being at ‘the old Kentucky home’ on May 23 to celebrate life, in general!” Bristol Palin, a 24-year-old former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant and mom to 6-year-old Tripp, had announced her engagement to Meyer, a Marine and Medal of Honor recipient, back in March.

Recently, the pair had been dogged by a tabloid report claiming Meyer had a “secret wife” whom he had married as a teen and subsequently divorced.

It’s a simple question, have you ever had direct social contact with the Palin family?

....”Some families play out like good Christian conservatives”....

Of course...I can agree with that.

I do think there’s a reality TV flavor to the family overall.

I’ve not been as big a supporter as many people here have been. Anyone that supported John McCain for return to the U. S. Senate was scratched off my Christmas card list years ago.

Hearing how her endorsement of McCain didn’t help him at all, but her endorsement of other every other winning candidate made all the difference got old quickly.

Her voice had a certain Rosanne Bar flavor to it. It wasn’t exactly the same, but her voice does make me cringe.

Her’s is way down the list of opinions I desire to hear, when contemplating political issues.

Hey, it is what it is.

I wish her and her family well. I just don’t care to hear about them ever again.

I couldn’t agree with that....for it’s not ‘like’ as Clintons and Obama’s are still in office. I believe that will change once they’re out of offices.

But with the Palin girls, there is no achievement to go with the fame.

<><>><><

Uh, what?!?

Bristol placed 3rd on Dancing with the Stars.

(no, I’m not being serious, I had to google that factoid, and let’s face it, to your point, her last name got her that gig).

In May 2009, at age 18, Palin began working with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, to inform young people about the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy.

Also in May 2009, Palin was named a Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, a teen pregnancy prevention organization that is a division of the Candie’s clothing brand. Her duties as a paid spokeswoman involved attending town hall meetings, public service announcements, and giving interviews on morning talk shows.

In May 2010 it was reported that Palin had signed with the company Single Source Speakers, asking between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance. She was listed on the company’s website as available for conferences, fundraisers, special events and holidays, as well as women’s, youth, abstinence, and pro-life programs.

Palin was a competitor on the fall 2010 season of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). Palin’s success on the show attracted other negative attention, including death threats against her. In one instance, suspicious white powder was received by the show.

Palin’s docu-series Life’s A Tripp, produced by Associated Television International, premiered on June 19, 2012, in the United States, on Lifetime TV. Lifetime ordered 14 episodes for original broadcast. The series followed Palin as she moved to Los Angeles, then back to Alaska, with two episodes set in Arizona (where her sister Willow was attending beauty school) and one episode in Washington, D.C.

Palin competed on the all-star season 15 of DWTS, which began in late September 2012.

In June 2011, Palin’s memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, co-authored by Nancy French, was released. It was a New York Times bestseller.

Glad that this is what the media wants to discuss when we have soooo many other problems to handle.

Oh come on. Why is that? Is that like "Black Thuggish"? Or "Hispanic Greasy"? Or "Asian Slant-Eyes"?

That was uncalled for. You are showing you own prejudice against a family which remind me of many people I know out here in rural America. Just normal folks.

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

Well those types of things are what Hollywood type people do do. Ansell. They involve themselves in whatever area they can relate to and by doing so retain their public persona in the eyes of their fans. Books , Tv, Appearances etc. just go with the territory.

Bristol is NOT Sarah Palin nor will she ever be IMO. Until she matures and seeks something more meaningful that uses her own talents rather than ride on the coat tail of her mom.....I have not seen that yet and hope she will find her place that’s meaningful and uses HER talents. Meanwhile she is making money which is what she wants currently.

Lol, that’s funny. Bill Clinton is reverred by the Lib media even tho he hangs with convicted pedophiles. The Obama’s hung out with domestic terrorists before 2008 and the Lib media ignored that.

Your trust in the Lib media is naive.

I think having two high achieving parents can cause the children to make poor life decisions. One of them, the father in this case, should be full time stay at home during the critical 12-18 years old period. Take them out fishing, to their activities, watch TV with them, shadow them if necessary. Be a constant role model so that they will carefully select a man like you.

I raised three daughters and had none of these Palin problems.

Well, some Churches (like the Catholic Church, and maybe others?) still are saddled with that old, archaic, obsolescent nonsense from Jesus about how marrying a divorced person is adultery.

I believe her brother is divorced, isn't he? Doesn't sound like it'd be a big deal in the Palin family if Bristol married a divorced guy.

Seriously, what has Bristol Palin done so wrong to make you want to attack her so?

I don’t know what could have made you so against her, her credentials as a conservative and pro-life activist seem great, and she has always used her charisma and resulting TV work, to serve conservatism as a good pro-life Christian conservative.

Why should you despise her?

Well I can't control the media, that's for sure. But it's pretty well known Bristol speaks out against the media, even in this article, so she's not exactly making friends and influencing them by any means. She's a good story to sell to her fans....she herself is not significant apart from her hollywood style persona.
