Bristol Palin Engaged To Medal Recipient Who Posted 'F%@# You Michael Moore' Photo

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."

I don't think the odds of any of Sparklemoose's brood marrying a Nobel laureate or MacArthur genius grant winner was anything more than the smallest possible nonzero number.

The proposal at a country concert, meeting on a hunting show. But alas, it is real. The Palins love to feel victimized, so I won't give them anything else to complain about.

"No ma'am, Vera Wang does not want to give your daughter a free wedding dress."

"Yes ma'am, we know who you are."
