The news that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston will wed has become a veritable blank canvas for a rampant press ever eager to bash Sarah Palin and the happy couple, then speculate on whether they're expecting another baby, or whether a reality show about their forthcoming marriage and home life is actually driving their plans.
Miss Palin and Mr. Johnston got a press honeymoon that lasted 20 minutes, perhaps.

My first thought, too...
The Palin family really is a mess. This “marriage”, if true, is ridiculous.
More info attributed to the couple can be found in this story and appears to be what they want to do........

“Bristol definitely has some interesting ideas for her wedding,” US Weekly executive editor Caroline Schaefer told NBC News in a story that aired Thursday morning on TODAY. “She wants to wear a Carolina Herrera gown … in white. She would like Levi and little Tripp to wear camo vests.”
“Sarah and Todd Palin have not given their blessing to this wedding. In fact, we asked Levi, ‘Did you ask for Bristol’s hand?’ and he said, ‘No. I know that if I had, Sarah and Todd would have said no,’ ” Schaefer said.
“About six weeks ago, Sarah asked Levi to come over because Bristol had said, ‘I want to be a family with Levi again’ — hinting that they wanted to get back together,” Schaefer told Lauer. “So Levi went over there, personally apologized for all the things that he had said, and basically said, ‘I want to be with Bristol, I want to be a family, and I’m going to get a job, get my education, really step up to the plate.’”
“Even if Bristol’s parents never like me again, that’s fine, I can live with that. But I want them to know how much I love her. After everything we have been through, I couldn’t put into words how much I love her,” Johnston said.

Anybody else believe they shopped a deal for a reality show which has been filming since the “engagement”? Perhaps orchestrated by a liberal group who wants to keep Sarah’s name out front?
Please add me to the list and thanks.
Briston’s wearing Herrera; Johnston and Levi are wearing camo.
I hope she keeps him submerged in a tank of antiseptic for about a week before she touches him. He did do Kathy Griffin after all.
That tiger has not changed his stripes. He just got hungry.
Probably too late for the anteseptic.
Sarah and Todd need to partially mirror a Biblical example...
Make him WORK 7 years for her hand (but do NOT slip him her sister!)
It’s in the best intersts of the child not be part of a reality show/media circus designed to destroy his grandmother.
Here, unfortunately, is the latest on their supposed reality show shopping:
I gotta agree—Bristol does seem to have a bit of an Elektra Complex.
I am grossed out.
“’I want to be a family, and I’m going to get a job, get my education, really step up to the plate.’”
Well, I guess we all want to hear that from a father. And, I’m sure this statement was music to a 19 year old girl’s ears.
I like to think everyone is worthy of a second chance; but I’m worried about this one. To quote “What’s Up, Doc?”: “Don’t you know the meaning of ‘propriety?’” This whole generation has grown up on reality shows and Springer. They seem to think notoriety is the same as renown. It would have shown a proper sense of propriety to quietly disappear from the spotlight and reappear when you’re celebrating your fifth anniversary.
Let’s just pray long and hard that this couple does no more harm to Sarah Palin’s chances to influence the direction of this country.
Must be nice.
