BELOW Deck Mediterranean star Captain Sandy Yawn has gotten engaged to her girlfriend Leah Shafer.
Sandy and Leah had been dating for five years before they decided to make it permanent.
Sandy spoke to E! about the proposal and said: "Leah wanted the fairytale, and to me, Leah represents elegance.
"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.”
Even though she "could not wait" to propose after thinking about the big moment "for years," she was still nervous.
She continued: "I shared my vision list of love I had written and wanted, then got on one knee.
