Sarah Palin's Son Track Gets Married

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted May 19th 2011 06:55PM

Talk about underneath the radar! Former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin announced in a statement that her oldest son, Track, married high school sweetheart, Britta Hanson, in a small ceremony in Alaska recently, PEOPLE reports. For pics of the wedding, go to PEOPLE.

"Our families couldn't be happier!" Sarah and Todd Palin and the Rev. Duane and Elizabeth Hanson told PEOPLE in a joint statement. "These are two hard working, humble, active, studious young adults who grew up together. We're tickled that after two decades of friendship we proudly witnessed their marriage, knowing their new life together will be blessed."

The couple, which has been dating since high school, plans to have a bigger celebration this winter at Alyeska Ski Resort so "extended family and friends from the Lower 48 can travel north for a long ski weekend," the statement continued.

Palin, 22, is an Army Reservist who spent a year deployed in Iraq and Hanson, 21, is a nursing student at the University of Alaska.

"The Hanson and Palin families are ecstatic and proud that Britta and Track married in one of our favorite spots in America, spectacular Hatcher Pass, Alaska," the statement added.

Yes unlike the Hollywood trash that you admire so greatly whether they are "baby mama" or not - you have to bring it up about Bristol. Bristol is moving forward with her life - how about if you do the same - or just drop dead.

Married in a hurry? Bigger reception later. Betcha the girls pregnant. Any takers.

So when is the baby do, next month. The Palins are notorious for attempted coverups and deception. Who gives a crap other than the fact that he is following the legacy of ignorance and stupidity.

By Susan

Babies aren't "do", they are "due" you freaking liberal moron. Typical level of liberal education.

By Jeff

Susan I wish I could agree but the liberal's love to stay in school even though they can't learn and ride the taxpayers back so they don't have to get jobs and pay the high taxes they create. To round it off independent strong willed women scare the hell out of them.

What kind of moron calls their kid 'Track'? Oh right, Sarah Palin - THAT kind of moron.

By PRIDE

Best Wishes to you both!!! You both are soo young, keep a strong marriage, be honest with each other, do not cheat on each other one or the other, always think before you react.

By ed baggett

Why can't the Palins just go away ? If she was worthy of the attention, like calculating the true age of the universe or curing cancer that's one thing, but the fact is she IS the cancer.

By Charles

His options were to join the military or do some jail time, so Moms used his joining the military to try to get some sympathy support. Now that he is out of active duty, first should it be the talk show circuit, or dancing with the stars, or a reality show called "on the other side of the tracks"!!

By Strauss

I take it he knocked her up.

By forpostingonly

Call me crazy, but with all the obnoxious crap on the news these days, it's kind of refreshing to see a nice couple (he's military, and she's a nursing student) get married - no bells or whistles - and just live their lives and be happy? I wish congratulations to the Palin families - both old and new!

We already know Sarah doesn't speak well and now we know she can't handle numbers either -
"We're tickled that after two decades of friendship we proudly witnessed their marriage..."

Two decades = 2 x 10 = 20 years. They've been dating since high school and they are 21 and 22 -- so how have they been in a relationship for two decades? More like a few years. Sarah is trying to stretch out the length of their courtship for some reason.

2 decades of friendship, moron. The families are obviously longtime friends.

2 decades of friendship, moron. The families have obviously known each other that long.
