Sarah Palin won’t marry daughter Bristol Palin off on Memorial Weekend as planned. Bristol and fiance Dakota Meyer have reportedly called off their wedding.

Recent tabloid rumors claim Meyer married a woman named Cassandra Wain back in 2008, and that he’d hidden the prior marriage from Bristol Palin.

Sarah Palin included a short statement from Bristol.

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.”

Dakota Meyer is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the War in Afghanistan. He is best known for having been awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal back on September 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. He is the second youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, the third living recipient for either Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom–Afghanistan, and the first living Marine in 38 years to be honored in this way.

Do you expect there’s more behind Sarah Palin announcing the cancellation of Bristol’s wedding than the Palin family is ready to share with the media? And if so, are those tabloid rumors true?
