One of Below Deck’s biggest stars is getting hitched, and with fans looking forward to seeing the wedding, we’ve assembled everything you need to know about the special occasion.
Captain Sandy Yawn of Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean went public with the betrothal earlier this month on social media.
The Captain, 59, announced her engagement on her social media by posting photos of her and Leah with the caption: “It’s official! I asked Leah to marry me, and she said YESSSSS! We are engaged! Stay tuned for the wedding.”
Sandy and Leah, who is a gospel singer and aesthetician from Denver, have been together for five years, with Sandy announcing the relationship in May 2019 on Twitter. Before Sandy, Leah was married for 20 years to Ross Shafer, with whom she shares a teenage daughter, Lauren “Lolo” Rae.

However, on March 11, Med alum Chef Dave White took to Instagram and shared multiple pictures of their wedding ceremony, which he seemed to be posting in real-time.
Where is Captain Sandy’s wedding going to take place?
In an interview with Hello, Captain Sandy said that she and Leah were hoping to get married in the Florida Keys, a series of tropical islands in the Atlantic Ocean off of the coast of Florida.
“September is her birthday month and that’s when I proposed, so I said we should get married during my birthday month, in February. We want to do it in the Florida Keys, barefoot in the sand,” she told the outlet.
This makes sense seeing as the couple spend a lot of time in that state, and it has a large sailing community. The photos from Chef Dave didn’t allude to a specific location where the ceremony was taking place, so it’s unclear whether their wedding took place in the Florida Keys.
