Meeting the family…

Bachelor Nation has been watching Mel Owens search for love on Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor.” 

And each week, fans get to know more about the remarkable women who are hoping to capture Mel’s heart and find their happily ever after.

Our Golden Bachelor is headed off to Hometowns to meet the families of his final three women: Cindy, Peg, and Debbie.

And now, Peg and Debbie have stopped by for an exclusive interview with BachelorNation.com to share what they hope Mel takes away from his visit. 

Check out our full interview with Peg and Debbie below!

Bachelor Nation: Hi ladies, it’s so great to see you two! Hometown visits are coming up; how are you feeling going into this week?

Peg: I’m so excited! I feel really ready to introduce Mel to my family. I’m excited and I am definitely ready to do that. I think Mel and I have a lot in common; I just feel like him and I are cut from the same cloth. And I think my family, they know me, and I think when they meet Mel, they’re going to be like, “Oh, yeah, of course this is the guy!” He’d just kind of slide right into my family and a lot of my friends from the Fire Department who are retired and he’ll fit right in. 

Debbie: Same! I’m definitely falling for this guy and I hope he’s feeling the same way. I think he is. It’s just so easy and it’s so natural, and I haven’t felt this way in over 10 years. Like, 14 years. I’m hoping [he’s the one] because he checks all the boxes for me. We had a really beautiful talk. I showed him some pictures of my family and my little hometown house that’s so itty-bitty that housed all eight children and my parents. And he just appreciated that, and I think that bonded us even more. So, you know, just crossing fingers and I’m excited.

BN: That’s great! What are you hoping Mel takes away from a Hometown visit and meeting your family?

P: That I have a very close family. That my family is really fun. We’re very lighthearted. We love to laugh, we enjoy life, and we’re a close family. 

D: There’s so many, but I think I want him to know my heart and that what you see is what you get. I’m very genuine and I have a big heart and my family’s amazing, but we’re just so down to earth. You know, from Wisconsin. And I just hope he understands when he meets them that he would fit right in and that I’m the right person for him.
