Olivia Frazer appeared on Married At First Sight Australia in season nine and came out the other side saying the show had ruined her life. She was not being dramatic. The backlash she faced after the show aired was severe enough that she packed up and moved to the UK entirely — leaving Australia behind to start over somewhere nobody knew her face.
That was four years ago.
This week she shared photos from her wedding celebration in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire — married to personal trainer and former footballer Greg Rutherford, surrounded by friends and family in one of England's most beautiful towns.
The couple had actually already exchanged vows earlier this year in a quiet ceremony at her mother's living room in Australia — intimate, private, exactly the opposite of the reality TV experience that had once made her life so difficult. The UK celebration was the bigger event, the one with the photos and the flowers and the people they love gathered in one place.
In a nod that Taylor Swift fans immediately caught, Olivia captioned her wedding photos with a lyric from Blank Space — "so it's going to be forever." The same Taylor Swift who also got married on July 3rd.
From a show that she says ruined her life to a wedding that looks like the beginning of something entirely new — Olivia Frazer's four years in the UK appear to have been exactly what she needed.
