Melissa Rycroft said "I do" to longtime beau Tye Strickland during a romantic wedding ceremony in Mexico over the weekend -- and the bride couldn't stop smiling!

According to Usmagazine.com, Rycroft, 26, wore a stunning, strapless Alfred Angelo gown as she walked down the aisle. The happy couple exchanged custom Simon G wedding bands.

The wedding ceremony was held in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in front of 200 of the former "Bachelor" beauty's closest friends and family, In Touch Weekly reports.

Rycroft reveals that she was able to hold her tears back -- until she started the wedding march.

"I was fine until 'Here Comes the Bride' started," Melissa tells In Touch. "I think everything hit me at once. My dad started to walk down the aisle, and I just stopped him. I grabbed his arm, and I was like, 'Hold on,' and I started crying. And I saw Tye, and bless his heart, he had these big tears in his eyes, too. It was very emotional."

Melissa rekindled her flame with Tye after being dumped by "Bachelor" Jason Mesnick.
