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.

I sure am glad I was not invited.
...sigh...
The Palins kinda impress me as kinda “White Trashy”.
IMHO... if there is any doubt.. on either side.. cancel it. Cancel it and see what happens next. No reason in the world to marry if you aren’t sure.
Well, someone was left at the altar. Not sure who.
If he was divorced, no big deal.
Anyone else get the general feeling that the Palins run with a trashy crowd? Maybe it’s just the Alaskan lifestyle, but some bad general decisions seem to keep being made.
But a big deal if he was divorced and didn’t tell her ...
The media should also mention that she has been a long time national spokeswoman for pro-life and abstinence groups, even without mentioning her New York Times bestseller.
One would hope that you're sure when you accept the proposal. Apparently not in this case.
But that would make her look good ... and Big Media can’t possibly do that.
It’s not about the truth. It’s about The Narrative.
I agree. I can't see how that would enter into the picture in this day and age.
Did Meyer have a BAH wife while in the Corps?
Pretty common.
Sometimes people you don't know well can seem trashy.
Of course, sometimes they actually are trashy.
No, I don’t think the devoutly Christian Governor and her Christian family run with a trashy crowd.
This news of breaking off the engagement to a Medal of Honor awarded ex-Marine makes you bring that up?
Yep. Never ends well for the guy who does his thinking with the wrong head.
Well, things happen. I had a cousin who accepted a marriage proposal. Young and thought she was in love. Got closer to the date and she couldn’t eat, sleep... She finally broke down and told her fiance a week before the wedding that she couldn’t marry him. TBH... she could have taken the easy way out. Tons of gifts were already sent, the church booked, the reception hall booked, gown purchased BUT she took the “till death do us part” seriously. He found someone new.. she found someone new. It all works out in the end. I pity the person who feel OBLIGED to walk down the aisle when they don’t want to.
A big "Oops!" if Dakota didn't tell Bristol before she read it in the gossip column.
Is everyone below the age of 30 in Alaska named “Dakota,” “Levi,” “Cheyenne,” or “Tanner?”
Any Robert, William or Edwards left up there?
Bill and Hillary Clinton
