James and Shawn met while working at Universal Orlando's Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey attraction. But plot twist -- Shawn actually separated James from Universal! Through a twisted turn of events, they managed to maintain a friendship on social media - no hard feelings right? When James became a Flight Attendant, this brought them closer together. Shawn was always interested in a travel career, and James was able to offer guidance on how to proceed. Then in 2017, after a flirty SnapChat conversation, a date was established. James and Shawn grew closer and closer, and nothing seemed more right!
Picture it, James and Shawn's European Vacation 2019. While visiting Scotland, sight seeing the ancient city of Edinburgh, and visiting Harry Potter inspired locations, it seemed only natural that the question should be asked at castle on a cliff, just about as close as you an get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Sorry Alnwick Castle, they couldn't squeeze you in). At the top of Edinburgh Castle, with a rainy, yet picturesque background, James got down on one knee. "Its not Hogwarts, but I think it's still pretty magical, Will You Marry Me?" Obviously Shawn said "Yes!"
