WASHINGTON (CBS DC) – Bristol Palin’s big weekend wedding has been called off.

She was supposed to marry Dakota Meyer, a Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during a battle in Afghanistan.

Her mother, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, made the announcement on her Facebook page:

“…unfortunately the announced celebration planned for May 23 will not be held. Many friends and family still look forward to getting together that day in Kentucky anyway – and the Palins and Meyers are happily looking forward to still being at ‘the old Kentucky home’ on May 23 to celebrate life, in general!”

Bristol Palin and Meyer got engaged in March, after dating for two months.

On Facebook, Sarah Palin repeated a statement from her daughter.

“Regarding salacious headlines in recent days about ‘secret wives,’ Dakota and I discussed our past relationships prior to our engagement. Dakota was legally divorced years ago, as any good reporter could and should have disclosed to readers. As usual, false stories and dramatically written headlines begging controversy should be disregarded, and we have faith that our privacy will be respected at this time by those with decency. Thank you! – Bristol”

Last week, reports surfaced that Meyer married a woman named Cassandra Wain in May 2008 and allegedly hid that previous marriage from Bristol.

Sarah Palin promised that even though there won’t be a wedding, there will be a party.
