Bristol Palin broke the news to US Magazine that she and Levi Johnston, the father of her 18-month-old child, will be walking down the aisle in the near future. However, the most interesting part of this story is that at the time of publication, Bristol had not yet broken the news to her parents, Todd and Sarah Palin. Bristol and Levi, 20 -- who famously called off their previous engagement two weeks after welcoming son Tripp in December 2008 said they reconnected three months ago while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son.
Now comes the hard part: Getting the blessing of Sarah Palin, who has made no secret of her feelings for Levi. He provoked her fury last fall when he claimed that she had called her infant son Trig (who has Down syndrome) "retarded." She fired back, telling reporters that anyone who posed for Playgirl would "say and do anything for even more attention." Later, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey she dubbed him "Ricky Hollywood" and called his "aspiring porn" career "heartbreaking." Says Bristol, "It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board." The Palins released this statement on The Today Show Wednesday morning: "Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives." Question: What do you think about Bristol and Levi's nuptial announcement and the fact that her parents were not told before the story broke in Us Magazine?
