For Bristol Palin, the third engagement may be the charm.
The oldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) announced Friday on her blog that Sgt. Dakota Meyer, a 2011 Medal of Honor recipient, had proposed the previous night — and she said yes.
“He’s wonderful with Tripp and I’m so proud to be marrying him,” Palin wrote. “He’s so romantic! He asked me to marry him at a Rascal Flatts concert. The lead singer, Gary LeVox, dedicated ‘Bless the Broken Road’ to us, and then Dakota got down on one knee and proposed!”
Palin was previously engaged — twice — to Levi Johnston, the father of her six-year-old son Tripp. Johnston memorably trash-talked Sarah Palin over the course of his relationship with Bristol, which ended in 2010.
Bristol wrote in the blog post that she met Meyer last year when he appeared on her mother’s Sportsman Channel show “Amazing America.”
So far, Meyer appears to be getting along swimmingly with the Palin clan. He recently cropped up in a few photos with Sarah Palin, most notably in a picture he posted to Facebook in January.
The photo showed him alongside the former Republican vice presidential nominee while she held up a sign that read “Fuc_ you Michael Moore.” The photo was posted as Moore came under heavy criticism from conservatives for his commentary on Clint Eastwood’s film “American Sniper.”
Sarah Palin also congratulated the couple Friday on Facebook:
