'The Bachelor's' Melissa Rycroft marries Tye Strickland. Jason who?
Melissa Rycroft has finally married her prince. See ya, Jason Mesnick!The former "Bachelor" and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant tied the knot with Tye Strickland in Mexico on Saturday, In Touch reports.
She wore an Alfred Angelo gown in the ceremony in front of friends and family.
It's been a rocky road for Rycroft, who was chosen by Mesnick on "The Bachelor" in the final episode. He proposed and she accepted. By the time the "After the Final Rose" episode taped, however, he had a change of heart. He broke up with her on the show and switched to runner-up Molly Malaney instead. They recently got engaged.
Rycroft didn't sit around and mope though. She became America's plucky sweetheart on "Dancing With the Stars," and her ex-boyfriend Strickland, an insurance agent, began wooing her again.
Less than four months after the humiliating "Final Rose" episode, Rycroft and Strickland were engaged.
"Tye is my best friend in the world, and now he's my partner forever," she tells In Touch. "We have had such a journey within our relationship, that to finally look at him and see my husband, gives me the calmest, most content feeling in the world. I love him so much and am so excited for our forever to begin!"
Good riddance, Jason, and good luck, Melissa!

Not fair what you are writing about Jason - Jason picked Melissa and sensed something not quite right... - that is why they broke up. How do you know - maybe she wasn't happy with him and thinking of her ex (who btw broke up with her BEFORE The Bachelor)? Sounds to me like her heart wasn't in the Jason relationship at all - How do you go back to your former boyfriend right AFTER a break up and then marry him.
You've got the story all wrong
Bravo Anonymous at 5:02 I agree all are happy in the end so why does it really matter how all this came to be?
