Sarah Palin Boycotting Bristol and Levi's Wedding

By Rob Shuter Posted Jul 20th 2010 11:06AM

Everyone in Alaska is hoping for an invitation to Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston's August wedding to land on their doorstep, everyone that is except the state's most famous resident and mother of the bride, Sarah Palin, who will not be attending.

"It's going to be the wedding of the century in Alaska. Our version of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding,' a Palin family friend told me with a straight face. "Everyone would kill to get an invite even if it means having to buy them an expensive gift. It's just too bad that her mother has refused to attend. Although I can't say I blame her after everything that boy has put her through."

It is true that Levi has not always acted like the perfect future son-in-law towards Sarah and her family. But Sarah's refusal to go to her daughter's special day has even Levi shocked.

"Bristol is very upset about her mother's decision and hopes her dad, Todd, will be able to change her mind," a friend of Levi's tells me. "It's not like Bristol or Levi are asking for help paying for the wedding, they just want their family to attend. It would cost them nothing."

Though it surely appears Sarah isn't going to attend, Bristol's father will come through.

"With or without Sarah, Todd will be walking his daughter down the aisle," the friend says. "He has been looking forward to this day ever since Bristol was a little girl and wouldn't miss it for anything or anyone. Bristol has told her mom she doesn't even want a wedding present just her mom to attend."

Which doesn't seem too much to ask for to me. What do you think?

Regardless of what happened between Levi, Sarah, etc...Sarah should be big enough to put her feelings aside for her daughter. Bristol will remember this for the rest of her life, whether she stays married to Levi or not. Not saying she'll never forgive her mother, but it'll always be in the back of her mind. Plus, can't Sarah do it for (at least) the grandkid? Some day he's going to want to know why grandma isn't in the wedding pictures.

Time has a way of changing things & people. It may not be in the nearest future, but who knows? At some point there actually may be a time when they can respect eachother, even a little.

I should know - my parents HATED my future husband, but they were there for ME. And, in time, they ended up actually liking him. **They were right though...he turned out to be a shmuck!!!

Once again this woman shows her immaturity. She is someone for one of the two highest offices in the country. She is also showing her "Christian Values" by her actions. Where is the forgiveness? These are children regardless of anything. He made many mistakes, and judging from the little I konw of her she is the last one to judge anyone for not being perfect and saying unkind things in the media. She is forever running her mouth about someone or something so Its shocking that she is ....well it just reaffirms her phony persona. When will all those blinded people start judging her by her actions and not by her words?

Haven't we all seen through Sarah Palin by now? Is anyone seriously thinking that she can run the entire country? She's a very dumb, self-centered attention and money-grubbing moron. Heck, she abandoned her duty as governor and just up and quit so she could go on a mega bucks speaking tour. I guess she wants to make the dough re mi while she can, obviously realizing that in the future people will WAKE UP and forget about her.

"It is true that Levi has not always acted like the perfect future son-in-law towards Sarah and her family."

So a perfect future son in law doesn't reveal the truth about a grasping, manipulative future mother in law who threateens to use state troopers to pick him up if he won't volunteer to get on a national stage to promote her ambitions and who would cut him out of his own son's life forever if she possibly could? All the while deriding him and his attempts to make money and pay child support?

I just can't stand the constantly built in "sympathy" for the mother/female role. It defies all reasonableness.

my mother started the same thing when i was going to get married. i told her your the one who's going to regret it as this is a once in lifetime happing.

By Esther

Although I am not a Sarah Palin fan anyway. I think she is making a big mistake if she doesn't go to the wedding. We don't always agree with our children, but we do need to support them. If it is true and she is not going to attend, it can put a wedge between her and her daughter and that would be a shame. But what do you expect from a moron.....................

I am so ashamed to call this woman an American.

By Sarah Is Awesome

You people amaze me! Sarah is so sweet, and she tries so hard...

Give her a break, my fellow Americans...

I implore you!

By zanytothemaxx

The half term quitter probably has a speach on that day. She quit as governor to make money and nothing is going to stand in her way now.

My believe is that if you have the kid FIRST, then you give up your fancy wedding and just go to town hall and get married and be done with it.

By regpasha1

I think she should "refudiate" her position and attend her daughter's nuptials.
The Queen of family values should practice what she screeches.

By Lisa

What an idiot! Obviously either she hasn't nmade any mistakes as a parent yet (...right...) or she hasn't learned from them.
Bristol may be her child, but she's an ADULT child--gets to make her own mistakes and live with them.
By boycotting the wedding, Sarah is just cutting off her nose to spite her face and will only damage her realtionship with her daughter--which in turn, pushes Bristol right to Levi. DUH!!
She doesn;t have to agree with her daughter, but respect her decisions, try not to sabotage their relationship, and be waiting with a shoulder and a hug when it falls part. THAT's what a real mom does.

By Bobby in C'ville

Christian is as Christian does. Sarah is showing her true colors. The Christian right can talk the talk but seldom can walk the walk; remember all of the scriptures regarding forgiveness and turning the other cheek? Self-righteousness and bitterness is never attractive and will always result in self-destruction.

By Steve

For a woman not to go to her daughters weddimg.....whatever the reason, is the biggest mistake that woman will ever make. And SP has made some VERY big ones.

By garyrjas

They're the trailer trash of Wasilla, now Levi can join the bunch, ta ta.

By BIG AL SVID

I don't blame Sarah Palin for this one ... Her husband is a big PUSSEY ... That PUNK Levi would be too scared to put a finger (or his little prick) within a city block or a country mile near my daughter .... Where were you when it counted, Todd Palin??

By LVS

Big Al, you can ask where her parents have been all along! Obviously not taking care of family! But remember, FAMILY VALUES!!

By Annie

Shame on her...it just proves once again that she is only out for herself...and that is that....Im sure glad she is not my mother...

I had a man leave me and my small child. He made a choice to choose someone else and hurt me deeply. BUT!!! He is still the father of my child. And always will be. My parents despise him! But you would NEVER know it! They smile and treat him very nicely. Why can't Sarah do the same for her daughter? This is very telling for her character. I've found issues with this since Bristol decided she needed to tell a tabloid before she told her mother! What a way to find out! And now this......

Sorry, this is not someone I would trust to run the country. But wait! She'll just quit if it gets too hard!

By misterbreeze1234

If she stands this strong on family issues that are blood to her, wouldn't you think she would be even stronger as President?
