Former ‘Bachelor’ Star Melissa Rycroft Finds Her Wedding Dress

Former “Bachelor” contender Melissa Rycroft will be wearing a bridal gown from designer Alfred Angelo when she walks down the aisle.

The reality show veteran revealed the news on Thursday’s “Good Morning America” as the special contributor for the program presented a piece on Bridal Fashion Week.

“I have the dress,” Melissa, who is set to marry Tye Strickland, an insurance agent from Dallas, Texas, told “GMA’s” Robin Roberts.

And Melissa, who competed last season on “Dancing With the Stars,” is likely to have a gown with a flair for fun. When presented with a chic, but plain number during the piece, Melissa quipped, “I don’t know if I’m a sleek and simple girl. We might need to keep going.”

As for the gown she did pick – one which was not shown during the piece, Melissa said it was love at first sight.

“It was just a feeling,” she said. “And it’s so cliche – you always hear everybody saying, ‘You’ll know it when you see it.’… [It was] the very first dress I saw, the very first dress I tried on and I love it!”

Although she didn’t offer details about the wedding date, Melissa said her wedding would be a “fun” affair.

“Fun? Is that a theme,” Melissa responded with when Robin asked if the wedding had a theme. “Laid back and fun. That’s me; that’s my personality. I’m not… stuffy or anything like that.”

Actually, she is… at least when it comes to her nose. The congested Melissa confirmed she is still recovering from swine flu, but she’s on the mend.

“I’m recovering. I still sound like a foghorn a little bit, but the worst has definitely passed me thankfully,” she said.
