‘Golden Bachelor’ Finale: Mel Owens Picks Peg Munson and Chooses a Commitment Ring Over a Proposal

Owens’ reluctance to rush into marriage shaped the season’s unconventional ending.

Overview

  • Cindy Cullers self-eliminated during Fantasy Suite week after Owens said he wasn’t ready to get engaged soon.
  • Peg Munson met Owens’ sons, who offered strong approval that factored into his final choice.
  • At the final rose ceremony, Owens gave Munson a ring as a symbol of commitment rather than proposing on one knee.
  • During the live After the Final Rose special, Owens and Munson said they are in love and confirmed they are still together.
  • A report claiming Owens proposed on one knee surfaced from a spoiler-based outlet, but major publications reported no formal engagement.
