Sarah Palin welcomed another cub to her family after her eldest son, Track, married his high school sweetheart, Britta Hanson.

The former Alaska governor tweeted out the happy news late Thursday afternoon after confirming the nuptials to multiple magazines.

"Yes they did & we couldn?t be more blessed!" she said.

Track, 22, spent a year deployed in Iraq and was a frequent talking point on his mother?s campaign trail. He now is in the Army Reserves and plans to attend the University of Alaska after commercial fishing season is over, US Weekly reported. His new wife, 21, is studying nursing at the University of Alaska.

She plans on working at a hospital when she is finished with school.

"Our families couldn't be happier!" the Palin and Hanson families said 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."
