Sarah Palin: Bristol's Wedding 'Will Not Be Held'
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
After a whirlwind romance where just about every detail was made public to the press via social media, it appears as though Bristol Palin and Dakota Myer won't be taking that walk down the aisle as scheduled this week. The announcement was made on Ms. Palin's mother's Facebook page.
"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," wrote former Alaska half-term Governor on Facebook Monday. "They have informed loved ones that unfortunately the announced celebration planned for May 23 will not be held. 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! Family members and close friends know they are welcome to share a great bar-b-que on the farm that day.
All involved, especially Dakota, Bristol and Tripp, and their parents and grandparents, thank supporters for the love they've expressed."
News of the Palin-Myer wedding cancellation comes on the heels of revelations on social media of Myer's previous marriage.
On Monday, EDGE reported that a friend of Myer's ex-wife Cassandra Wain took to social media Friday to blast the former marine for trying to hide his previous marriage.
"What I'm not understanding is why this marriage to my best friend is something you are trying to hide," Wain's friend posted. "To read the bulls*** of people putting their two cents into this issue they know nothing about is hard to read."
According to Radar Online, Wain's "best friend" turned out to be her sister Raelyn Marie. Less than an hour after the post, both Marie and Wain's Facebook profiles were deleted.
Coming to Bristol's defense Monday was none other than Mama Grisly herself, who posted a message from her daughter in response to the "secret-wife" allegations, telling supporters to disregard "false stories and dramatically written headlines begging controversy."
