ET special correspondent Melissa Rycroft reveals her Valentine's Day getaway with new hubby Tye Strickland -- and only ET is behind the scenes for the In Touch Weekly honeymoon photo shoot at the St. Regis -- Punta Mita in Mexico.

"We got married in Mexico two months ago now, and we're back for the first time and it's just as romantic," Melissa says.

The couple stayed in a gorgeous suite, got massages on the beach and planned a romantic dinner for Valentine's Day at the hotel's signature restaurant, Carolina.

"The two of us, quiet, sound of the ocean, doesn't hurt at all," Melissa says.

Tye, of course, was reunited with Melissa after she was unceremoniously dumped by Jason Mesnick on "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose." It turns out that that unhappy event had a silver lining, bringing the couple together again.

"We met at a mutual friend's birthday party several years ago," Melissa says.

And Tye interrupts to say, "About six months later we got in touch with each other again."

Melissa finishes, "And then two years later, bam, we got married."

Melissa, of course, is used to being in front of the camera, but it is a new experience for her husband, a 28-year-old businessman based in Dallas.

"A hard day on the job!" Tye says as he lifts her for a photo and they kiss.
