Mel Owens met his perfect match in Peg Munson on The Golden Bachelor, and promised he'd commit to their relationship during the season 2 finale - even without a proper engagement. "Look, I had a crush on Peg from the moment that I saw her and that just built over time," Mel, 66, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, November 13, just one day after the two-hour finale special aired on ABC. Mel gave Peg, 62, a diamond commitment ring by Neil Lane in the episode's final moments, and later insisted on After the Final Rose that the couple are happy and in love.
