She may have come in third on Dancing with the Stars, and second on The Bachelor, but Melissa Rycroft is in first place with Tye Strickland, as the gorgeous duo were engaged on June 26th. The cutie All-American girl announced the big news on GMA this morning.

Strickland, who was a frequent audience member during Rycroft’s season eight Dancing stint, popped the question to the Dallas beauty at White’s Chapel in Southlake, Texas. The couple later joined their respective parents for a celebratory meal at the Brio Tuscan Grille before heading out later in the evening to a reception with more family and close friends. No wedding date has been set.

Melissa and Tye had previously been great friends and dated before her stint on The Bachelor. After d-bag Jason Mesnick dumped her on national tv, she found comfort in Tye’s big, beautiful arms.

We are SO happy for Melissa! Tye is such a hot, hunky beefcake- Jason Mesnick, eat your heart out!
