Melissa Rycroft has set a wedding date with her fiance Tye Strickland, but the former “Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant is keeping it private. “It will be a big party,” she tells People Magazine. “I just want it to be a fun day everyone will remember.” After her engagement to Jason Mesnick was called off on national TV, Rycroft says that she has found true love with Strickland and that they couldn’t be happier. “No disrespect [to Jason] at all, but that situation doesn’t compare to where I am now – engaged and happy,” she says. “It’s a different feeling.” Rycroft was spotted earlier this month at the Dallas Bridal Show picking up wedding tips.
