Palin, 24, had announced on her blog in March that she was
engaged to Dakota Meyer, 26, a Medal of Honor recipient who
saved 36 Marine comrades from an ambush in Afghanistan.
The wedding date had been set for May 23 but last week, Sarah
Palin said in a message on her Facebook page that the wedding
would not take place on that date. Bristol Palin took to her
blog on Tuesday to "address the elephant-in-the-room."
"This is a painful time for family and friends and I would just
really appreciate your prayers," she wrote in post titled "The
Wedding That Didn't Happen."
Palin, who has a son, Tripp, 6, from a previous relationship,
did not directly address whether she might wed Meyer in the
future but said her life was moving forward with her family in
Alaska.
"I know God’s plan is greater than anything else, and Tripp and
I are in Alaska beginning to rebuild our lives under much
different circumstances than we anticipated," she said.
Bristol Palin said she met Meyer in 2014 when he came to Alaska
to film the reality television show "Amazing America" with her
mother, who was the 2008 presidential running mate of Republican
presidential nominee John McCain.
Bristol Palin appeared in the ABC television competition
"Dancing with the Stars" in 2010 and 2012.
Meyer was awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. award for
bravery, in 2011 for saving 36 of his comrades' lives during an
ambush in Afghanistan in 2009.
