Bristol Palin and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer engaged

CNN)—Wedding bells are on the horizon for Bristol Palin and 2011 Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer.

Meyer, 26, proposed to Palin, 24, Friday night at a Rascal Flatts concert, Palin said on her blog.

"The lead singer, Gary LeVox, dedicated 'Bless the Broken Road' to us, and then Dakota got down on one knee and proposed!" she wrote. "It's amazing to see what happens when you place everything in life in God's hands."

Meyer received the nation's highest military honor for braving enemy fire in 2009 to recover 36 American and Afghan troops in Afghanistan. He was the third living recipient -- and the first Marine -- to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Palin, the oldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has stayed in the public eye since her mother's failed vice presidential bid through appearances on "Dancing with the Stars" and a Lifetime show about raising her son, "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp."

She also released a best-selling memoir in 2011, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far." She was previously engaged to Tripp's father, Levi Johnston.

She and Meyer met when he was visited Alaska to film "Amazing America," Sarah Palin's show on Sportsman Channel, Bristol Palin said in her blog post.

"He met Tripp during that time, and I've seen him in a few places where our paths have crossed since. He's visited us in Alaska, and I've visited his wonderful family in Kentucky," she wrote. "He's wonderful with Tripp and I'm so proud to be marrying him."

I wonder if comedians and the media will find something about her pending marriage to be critical of.

And they'll die trying. :-)

I mean that they won’t post in the usual manner (properties, etc). I get the dreaded red X when I try.

He needs to get more CCW training. He's printing. (Or maybe that's deliberate, to send a message.)

It's mean to go raising people's hopes like that.

Little known Army regulation - if they have kids, they get automatic admission to West Point.

Already there. There may be 50 million + illegals in the country now with millions coming in every year. Even if Republicans keep Congress and win the WH they will not deport them. Every female of reproductive age will drop at least 1 anchor baby. Do the math.

We had a good run but the Republic is history.

A Marine might prefer the Naval Academy for his kids...but West Point will do in a pinch. :^)

Anyway, good luck to them.

Now that she knows how to dance, she should have a really good time at her wedding!!

Yep, she sure has slimmed out quite a bit. Course, she’d just had a baby when she was dancing with the stars.

I congratulate her, and him, and I hope and pray they have a wonderful, life-long marriage. Hope he treats her well.

I think she's at an absolutely perfect weight.
