Force marriage averted - hurray!

Sorry about printing what essentially amounts to gossip but frankly we get so little good news these days that it's worth highlighting when it appears.

Yes, Bristol Palin's shotgun marriage has been called off now the election is well and truly over. Bristol (18), who gave birth two months ago and is now back at school, had been due to marry Levi, the baby's father, in the summer. Apparently, according to Levi, the couple had decided to split "a while ago".

Thank goodness, one less forced marriage in the world is a very good thing. I wish all three of them the very best for the future, congratulations on a wise decision.
