Melissa Rycroft, who was so memorably proposed to and then dumped on national television by Bachelor Jason Mesnick and then twirled her infamy into a stint on Dancing With the Stars, is engaged, Us Weekly reports. She reunited with insurance agent Tye Strickland in March after her stint on The Bachelor—they'd been on and off for two years.

"Sometimes the stars align and the clouds part and everything works out the way it should," Melissa gushed on Good Morning America today, where she has a new running gig. Which, wow. Honey, he didn't cure cancer. He put a ring on your finger and then didn't immediately take it back because he thought that other girl was smarter and prettier than you.

Strickland proposed Friday night at White's Chapel church in Melissa's native Texas. After Melissa accepted, they took the celebration out to dinner with family and friends. "He had the proposal all planned out in advance and completely surprised her," a source told Us. "The dinner was a surprise as well. She's so proud of him for being able to pull it off without anyone finding out!"

Melissa and Tye's engagement follows a long tradition now of Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants finding love in places other than ABC's televised beach houses. To date, only the first Bachelorette, Trista Sutter, has married the person she met on the show, Colorado firefighter Ryan Sutter. They have two sons. Season six Bachelor Byron Velvick and his choice, Mary Delgado, have been engaged since November 2004.
