“If he made a really good case for it, I guess… I guess there’s this misconception about once you’re engaged how could you possibly want anything more than marriage and kids. It’s kind of like lock down a rich guy," she added.
Megalyn continued, "I’m here to say that there’s more to life than that, and this common lame notion that that’s all a girl could possibly want in life is completely bulls–t. So, I mean, I have a boyfriend who I love and that’s all I need."
The couple is absolutely adorable, that much is for sure. We can't wait to watch Megalyn and her hundreds of siblings when Almost Family airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on FOX.
