Melissa Rycroft has said "I do." More importantly, so has the guy.

Once one half of the most devastating Bachelor breakup, the 26-year-old Good Morning America correspondent is now part of an official twosome, having swapped vows Saturday night in Mexico with fellow Texan Tye Strickland, according to In Touch Weekly.

"Tye is my best friend in the world, and now he's my partner forever.  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," Rycroft told the mag. "I love him so much and am so excited for our forever to begin!"

The bride wore an Alfred Angelo gown. Tony Dovolani, who took Rycroft all the way to the finals on Dancing With the Stars, and Bachelorette Jillian Harris were on the guest list.

Rycroft and Strickland dated on and off for a couple of years before reconnecting after The Bachelor debacle.
