The bride’s not letting Dino put her off dating

When Melissa Lucarelli meets Woman’s Day, the Married at First Sight Australia contestant has already been in New Zealand for 72 hours, but she hasn’t seen a single sight.

“It’s such a beautiful country and it’s my first time here, but I’ve only really visited radio and TV stations,” she laughs. “But that’s OK – not everyone gets to have this kind of tour. I feel like a VIP!”

Feeling sorry for the Sydney-based talent agent, we whisk her away to Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour for a view of the Sky Tower. But for Melissa, 38, it’s the locals who are the real attraction. “Every single person I’ve spoken to is amazing,” she gushes. “You’ve got such great people here. I love New Zealanders.”
