Find Out How Mel Owens’ Season of ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Ended and If He’s Engaged!
Is love in the air?!
On Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor,” fans followed each week as Mel Owens looked for love.
After an unexpected journey, Mel finally found his happily ever after and this week we got to see him hand out his final golden rose.
On their last week in Antigua, Mel shared a declaration of love with Peg and gave her a ring as a symbol of his commitment.
After a heartbreaking goodbye from Cindy, Mel finally told Peg that she was the one for him.
While looking out at the beautiful ocean and holding Peg’s hands, Mel said, “On this journey, I reflect on our journey and I’ve learned a lot of things. Listening and loving. I listen to you talk about your family and what it means to you and all the sacrifices that you made. I know you would protect them at any cost. I want to invite your family into my family. I trusted you and you trusted me. And you told me you had confidence in me — that I’d make the right choice. And here you are.”
As the Golden Bachelor pulled a ring box out of his pocket, he shared, “I have something. I have a ring, and this represents our commitment to love. To give us time to figure out together what our future holds. What do you think?”
Peg excitedly replied, “I agree! I think it would be absolutely wonderful, we’re just completely on the same page with that.”
As Mel placed the stunning Neil Lane ring on Peg’s finger, she expressed, “It’s beautiful! Wow, that is absolutely beautiful!”
After declaring their commitment for one another, the happy couple shared they've found the perfect person and Peg exclaimed, “A toast to the final golden rose! Definitely a match, that’s for dang sure. I’m not for everybody, he’s not for everybody, but we’re definitely for each other. It’s so true.”
We couldn’t be happier for these two as they enter this exciting next chapter of their lives together. Congrats to Mel and Peg!
