Veteran Couple's Fairy-Tale Ending on The Golden Bachelor

The highly anticipated finale of The Golden Bachelor's second season aired on November 13, 2025, and it did not disappoint. Bachelor Mel Owens, 66, made a lifelong commitment to Peg Munson, 62, by proposing with a sparkling engagement ring designed by renowned celebrity jeweler Neil Lane.

The ring, which boasts over 30 diamonds on an 18K gold band, is a true work of art. Lane carefully crafted the design to reflect the couple's individual stories and their shared journey on the show. The central cushion-cut diamond symbolizes their "happiness, unity and shared love," while the two flanking triangle stones represent Mel and Peg as individuals. Lane also incorporated his signature Art Deco-inspired flair, creating a timeless and elegant piece.

According to Lane, working with older couples who have had lives and rings before is a unique experience. He strives to combine the magic of the moment with respect for their past, ensuring the ring is a meaningful representation of their relationship.

Mel and Peg's connection and commitment to one another shone through in the finale, and their future looks bright. As Lane puts it, "They're really great and I wish them a lot of success."
