Despite trailers hinting that she was going to “shock everybody” with her decision, Married At First Sight‘s Melissa Rawson unsurprisingly proclaimed her love to Bryce Ruthven and vice versa at their final vows. But Bryce has hit back at his haters in a telling Instagram post following Monday night’s episode.
On Monday night, Bryce shared a selection of loved-up photos from the final vows ceremony but one post’s caption caught MAFS fans’ attention.
“We know people don’t agree with how our relationship appears to be from the outside,” Bryce penned.
“We have proven you can be happy with someone when others negatively judge our relationship from afar without knowing the home truths. People are always going to have opinions as we do in our own relationship. In the end, @mafs shows everyone that love silences all.”
Melissa shared her own post and acknowledged that several people may struggle to understand her decision to pursue a relationship with Bryce past the show.
“My heart is full. I love this man so much and we truly make each other happy every single day,” she penned.
“While it might be hard for some to believe, it is my decision, my life and my choice. And I choose him. He is my partner, my lover and the man that I have fallen head over heels for. Our love story is what I asked for; an all consuming and unconditional love. And I have found that with Bryce.”
During the final vows, Bryce said that he and Melissa had faced more challenges than anyone that had come before them.
“Rumours and accusations have riddled our story, others have stepped in and tried to become involved in our relationship and I’ve turned into someone I wasn’t proud of,” he explained.
“Seeing how some of my words and actions throughout the experiment have affected you have really made me question if this relationship could properly function outside the experiment. I do wonder if potentially we aren’t as compatible as we think.”
Bryce went on to say that despite the dramas, Melissa makes him a better person and that he can’t see a future without her in his life.
Melissa meanwhile admitted that despite the constant rumours and conflicts she had never felt this way about anyone in her heart.
“I have grown as a person because of you, I cannot imagine my life without you and I can absolutely say with certainty that I am in love with you,” she professed.
“I believe with every fibre of my being that you and our relationship are truly worth fighting for.”
