"It feels really special," Kelsey gushed, hinting at a future walk down the aisle. But as the family meet-and-greet loomed, Kelsey's nerves were as hot as the Southern sun!
Next stop: Rancho Cucamonga, California, where Rachel introduced Joey to her Filipino heritage with a backyard pig roast and traditional dance. But could Joey chew his way into her family's hearts?
Rachel's mom served up a side of caution, leaving Joey to wonder if he'd ever get the full blessing to pursue her heart.
In chilly Becker, Minnesota, Daisy showed Joey her family's Christmas tree farm, complete with alpacas and heartfelt wishes. But it was Daisy's candid confession of love that melted Joey's heart. "I am falling in love with you," she declared, shooting her shot at love.
The final stop took Joey to Ontario, Canada, where Maria and the majestic Niagara Falls awaited. Despite never bringing a beau home before, Maria's family dinner was less about the falls and more about falling for Joey.
