On October 28, Levi Johnston wedded his girlfriend of over one year, Sunny Oglesby without his first born, Tripp in attendance. The groom, 22, wanted Tripp, 4, to be his ring bearer, but mother, Bristol Palin denied visitation. According to Inside Edition, Johnston did not inform Palin of his weekend nuptials. Instead, he only asked for custody of his son. One person that was able to make it was Johnston’s second child with Oglesby, one-month-old Breeze Beretta. This is the first child for Oglesby, 20. During the wedding, Johnston was said to have goofed on his vows. “To have and to hold, whatever you say.”
