Matt comforted her and said that he loves her personality and who she is and that his parents will support him with whoever he wants to be with.

His mother said she was afraid Annabelle wouldn’t be able to cope with life on the farm because it “isn’t glamorous.”
“I’m sorry I can’t finish that conversation — will she be willing to get hot and dirty and deal with it?” The farm is not a glamorous place,’ she said.
However, his parents chose to send Annabelle on the one-on-one 24-hour date with Matt.
“We actually chose to send Annabelle on that one-on-one date. I think all three of us felt that maybe Annabelle didn’t have the same chance or chance,” his father said.
