They're engaged??

Apparently Bristol Palin and Levi what's-his-name are engaged... did I completely miss something? Or are we suddenly stuck in left field? (Clicky.)

Re: They're engaged??

  • They got re-engaged... apparently.

    The article I read was interviewing Bristol about telling her mom.  Apparently her mom wasn't commenting on the latest development.

    I'm tired of that trainwreck family.  Who cares?
  • Hey, at least it's not Jon and Kate!

  • It was definitely out of left field. I don't think getting engaged and not telling your parents but a gossip magazine is the best way to start out a marriage, but what do I know.

  • totally a publicity stunt. I am so over that family. they're not entertaining or interesting at all.
  • Who wants to bet that Sarah writes a book about this?
  • Well it explains Levi's out-of-nowhere apology to her family last week. Even the news was like "Why is he apologizing now? This makes no sense". Now it makes sense. Someone was trying to butter them up.

  • she shoudl be afraid to tell her mom.  this guy is a total loser who hurt their family and talked trash about them to every tabloid that would listen.  i am not sure what this young girl is thinking, but i hope she comes to her senses quick, for the sake of her son.

    Oh, I have strong feelings on that one.  Mainly pertaining the horridness that is Kate Gosselin.
  • I don't pay much attention, but from what I've heard it came completely come out of the blue.  There were some reports that they were talking again, but that was about it. 
    P.S. I got this info from the Today Show, yesterday.  I guess they started talking again one day when they had to get together for the baby.  Hopefully, it's in the best interest of the child.  Another random note: they say they are staying abstinent until marriage...(a little late for that).  But, they want to have the wedding in the next few months (probabbly so they can start sleeping with each other again....)

    I heard that too. I don't see the point. We all know you already had sex. Get over yourselves already.

    Another reason why this family annoys the crap out of me. Why is it any of the public's business what you do or don't do in your bedroom? It doesn't make them anymore respectable because they're claiming to abstain from sex for awhile. They have a baby for crying out loud and not fooling anyone with their abstinence BS.

  • I read that they're wearing camo vests.  so there ya go, ak!  :)

  • LOL kiki! Our camo vests will be MUCH cooler than theirs. :)

    Maybe she's preggers again?
  • dont knock the abstinence thing... my FI and i had sex while we were dating, but once we got engaged, we chose to abstain until we were married as we felt it was the right thing to do as we prepared ourselves to receive our sacrament.  there are reasons people do this...that make sense.  i do think its silly when peopel do it becuase they think the wedding night sex will be better.  that i dont get, but to each his own.
  • My eyes nearly rolled right outta my face when they said they were abstaining from sex.

    And he's said some pretty nasty shizz about that family. I can't imagine they are too happy.

  • I'm not knocking abstinence at all. I think it's ridiculous that they're sharing this information with the rest of the country after they've had a child. It strikes me as them trying to be holier than thou.

  • i agree, their sex life doesnt belong in the media.  but statements like this:  They have a baby for crying out loud and not fooling anyone with their abstinence BS.  do come across as knocking what may be a justified decision for them.

    This. I get the abstinence thing... especially for religious reasons while a couple is preparing for marriage. That makes perfect sense to me and is, in itself, admirable.

    But I think in <em>this couple's</em> case, it's a little absurd.
  • WE'VE MADE MISTAKES BEFORE BUT NOW WE'RE GONNA BE GOOD ROLE MODELS!!

    That's like Heidi and Spencer coming out and saying that they are against plastic surgery and they aren't going to do it anymore.

  • I'll admit, I really don't get not having sex after getting engaged (if you were already doing it pre-engagement).  What's the point?

    But you probably didn't make an annoucement in your local paper. No one needs to know or cares what does or doesn't happen in other people's bedrooms.

    Yeah, we can totally disagree on this. I wasn't saying Abstinence is BS. I think them making a statement about being abstinent is strange because it's not anyone's business.
    I really couldn't give a crap whose abstinent in general. If people want to wait until they get married, great.

    Edit: I reread what I wrote and I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm sure this is what they feel is best for them.

  • maybe she did learn.  we have no idea what went on behind closed doors wehn she got pregnant the first time.  maybe she really is ignorant or lazy about BC and doesnt want to run the risk of another out of wedlock pregnancy.

    kiki, for us (we're catholic) it was important as we wanted to confess our sins, and make an honest effort to not commit further sin in teh days leading up to our marriage.  receiving a sacrament is a big deal in the catholic church.  we really took it seriously. 
  • They've been back together for a while, with Levi backtracking on everything negative he has ever said about the Palins.  And abstinence or not is nobody's business but their own.  (although I do agree that it is BS)
