‘We're meant to BE TOGETHER'

AFTER THE DINNER PARTY FROM HELL, MELISSA AND BRYCE SAY THEIR MARRIAGE IS ROCK SOLID
They’ve already proven to be one of the year’s most controversial couples on Married at First Sight. But as Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson tell WHO, they don’t care what the haters have to say. “We are here solely for each other,” Rawson, 31 says. “At this point, we’re heavily invested in one another and we’re not too worried about what any of the other brides and grooms – or anyone else, for that matter – thinks of us.”
The couple have already been through their fair share of battles, though. Not only has Ruthven’s brutal honesty (about Rawson’s looks and in rating her against the other brides ) been a sore point, his conflict with groom Sam Carraro exploded at a recent dinner party. Ruthven is unapologetic about throwing a glass of water over Carraro, after Carraro said he often saw Rawson in tears over her relationship. It’s a claim both Ruthven and Rawson strenuously deny. “If I had my chance again, I’d throw the whole jug of water over him,” Ruthven, 31 says. “The guy’s only there for his 15 seconds of fame and he was provoking me for airtime. I think he worked out that he and Coco weren’t likely to last, so he had to make sure he made his mark.”
