Captain Sandy and Leah got engaged after a magical proposal
Yawn and Shafer talked about marriage for years. “I have been thinking about marrying Leah for years,” Yawn told E! “I knew from the minute I met her, but the timing had to be right. I wanted to make sure we could truly do life together first.”
Yawn then needed to deliver on that fairytale proposal. “Leah wanted the fairytale, and to me, Leah represents elegance,” she added. “I planned a boat ride to a beautiful cove. I had it decorated with flowers with a path to a small table accompanied by three violinists where we could sit and have a small date.”
She added, “I truly could not wait! I shared my vision list of love I had written and wanted, then got on one knee. Then, she said ‘yes!’ The look on her face was priceless, and my heart exploded! It was filled beyond capacity of anything I could ever imagine. Somehow I feel closer than I did before, and I can’t explain it. There is an energy that I have never experienced in my life. I love her beyond; as Leah says Yawn beyond.”
Sandy and Leah are building a life together
Showbiz Cheat Sheet originally broke the news in 2019 that Yawn found love with Shafer. The couple settled down in Colorado, but plan to move to Jacksonville, Florida when the new home they are building is complete.
Shafer told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that finding Yawn was like being home. “When I met Sandy I just knew. I knew who I was and she brought out what I was pushing down inside of me. I feel I can be free of who I am now,” she said.
