Matt


ok this may question may have already been asked but I just started this season. When an Amish man marries they grow their beard out correct? So if he is really married then why is his face shaven?

reply

I personally know matt. And all I can tell you is, he hasn't really been amish for several years. I've known him for over a year now.

reply

how much is real and how much is fake then?

reply

Thanks for the response! That doesn't suprise me in the least! Sigh... This show.

reply

Well. When I saw matt he wasn't married that I knew of. So....

Matt did say that he hasn't been living Amish, so it doesn't surprise me that he is clean shaven. The show confuses the issue by making all of the cast members wear Amish clothing, even after they've admitted to living English. (They weren't so honest about that in the first season, but I noticed this season they showed pictures of some of the cast members wearing English clothes when they were introduced. I guess they learned their lesson, after leaked pictures of Abe and Rebecca were all over the Internet.) I think Vonda was the only one who was still dressing Amish in real life when we met them.

He's married to a mennonite, and maybe that's the rule in their culture. He is also not living amish before/during the show, so he probably hasn't joined the church.
