Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for giving us a wedding day we will cherish forever! So many people have let me know how much they enjoyed the ceremony. You touched the hearts of everyone present.

All the best,
Ellie & Steven Deyoe

Hi Captain Arnold,

We just wanted to send you a little message thanking you for the wonderful wedding ceremony you did for us on June 24th, 2010, on the Explorer of the Seas Cruise ship in Bayonne Nj. We absolutely loved the ceremony and every part of the wedding day. We had Roseann as one our coordinators and she was so great. She listened to us and helped us achieve everything we wanted on our wedding day. You and your team did a wonderful job and we thank you all so much. ?

sincerely,

Justin and Jordan Hayden

Hi Captain Arnold,

I can’t thank you enough for leading such a wonderful ceremony, and Jim and I are so happy that we chose you for it. It was perfect! And our guests had such nice things to say about you as well, including how you spoke before the ceremony to them so they felt like they had a better understanding of who you are. We thank you again!

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. James Capuano

Captain Arnold,

Nicole and I wanted to take the time to send you a message of thanks appreciation for the wedding service. Your service not only made the day extra special for us and our guests, but has each day since then as we discuss it together ourselves and with friends and family.

We are honored that you performed our wedding ceremony and deeply appreciate your kind, honest, and thought-provoking message. You also injected a little humor in there which helped ease some nerves and also helped remind us to have some fun, too. We know you receive a lot of positive feedback from other ceremonies you have performed and didn’t want our message of thanks to simply read like a repeat of what everyone else has already said. However, given the overwhelming response from everyone who attended our wedding, we can’t help but reiterate what has already been said: your wedding ceremonies are the best anyone has ever witnessed. Your rose ceremony was very special for our mothers. We deeply appreciated your kind words for them as they weren’t expecting to be recognized and you brilliantly drew us all closer together.

Imagine our own joy when, after the ceremony was completed, we turned round and faced the cheers of our family and friends only to see everyone beaming from ear to ear and not a single dry eye on the boat. It was a special moment and one we will never forget.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you,

Nicole and Daniel

Dear Captain Arnold,

We would like to thank you for performing such a beautiful and inspiring wedding ceremony on our special day. From the moment we met you and throughout the short time we were together, you were a professional and very instrumental in helping us to resolve several issues on that day and with the Miami office.

My friends and family enjoyed your ceremony immensely and are still raving about your sense of humor and how you touched their lives. Our day would not have been complete without your efforts and those of Mrs. Allison Schoonhen.

Again, on behalf of the newly married “Lecators”, it was an honor to meet you and thank you for making our wedding a day that will be always be cherished.

Sincerely,

Richard & Cynthia Lecator

Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much. I wanted to write to tell you how much we loved the ceremony. I don’t think there was a single guest who didn’t say how much they enjoyed it. It was beautiful & we will remember it always. It literally brought tears to our eyes.

Thank you again,

Brianne & Pete Mihalenko

Dear Captain Arnold,

We wanted to thank you again for performing such a wonderful ceremony. Thank you for remembering those who could not be with us, but also making us laugh. It was the perfect mix of sentiment and levity. As you may remember, my wedding day was very rushed and stressful until the ceremony. After your ceremony, all the chaos leading up to the wedding was forgotten.

Thanks again for making our day so special!

Sincerely,

Margaret and Kevin Albert

Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives. Your ceremony was absolutely perfect not only tying our love together, but including our loved ones that were unable to share in our moment together. Our wedding truly was a fairy tale, and you played an essential role in creating its story. Thank you so much!

Love,

Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Mc Cullough

Hello Captain Arnold,

Muhammad and I wanted to say thank you for making our wedding ceremony one we will never forget. My friends and family were impressed with how you injected humor into the ceremony. You certainly made us feel relaxed and at ease. We feel grateful having had you perform our wedding ceremony. Also, thank you for the copy of our vows. Muhammad and I can always be reminded of our promises to each other.

Respectfully,

Jill and Muhammad Rahim.

Dear Captain Arnold,

We were very happy to receive our marriage certificate and vows yesterday in the mail. We had a fantastic time in New York for the wedding and were so lucky with the weather in the end. We would like to thank you so much for our amazing ceremony. Organizing everything via email from Switzerland was a little nerve wracking but on the day you had organized everything so perfectly and, as you told me, took all the stress out of the day! The Ladies Pavilion was such a great location for the ceremony and luckily as you had sorted out the permit we were able to kick those people out who were having their picnic! Although they took it very well :o) I think the ceremony was far more than we ever imagined, the words were very heartfelt and you spoke from your experience of 53 years of marriage, and also injected a bit of humour which was great. The vows were really perfect and encompassed everything we wanted to say to each other so we will really cherish them. All of our guests loved the ceremony and one couple in particular fell in love with New York so maybe we can persuade them to follow in our footsteps…you can be sure they will be in contact with you if they do!

Many thanks again from a happily married couple

Luc & Karen Bouley

Hi Captain Arnold.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for being there with us to officiate at our special day. You truly made this a remarkable and memorable vow renewal. Our vows were PERFECT! We cannot thank you enough.

Samayah and Raymond

Hello Captain,

I just wanted to let you know that we did receive the package you sent, and I can’t tell you how happy I was that you included the vows we spoke, being that we didn’t have a video to play back, the one thing I did want to have were the words that you spoke that made my big guy cry! I have only seen tears like that one other time in our ten years together, and they were nowhere near the strength that your words evoked. I thank you! I also will include a full letter that you can post to your site within the week.

Thank you so much again, and I will always be thankful for you. More than you will ever know!

Love – Angela

Hello Captain Arnold,

I wanted to send you this letter of gratitude for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us and our family on the Skyline Princess. I don’t even know if I could find the appropriate words for how you made all of us feel that day. Your words and humor touched not only John and I, but also our sons and daughter-in-laws, who were all married just recently themselves. When I saw their hands reach for each other, and tears flow from my husband’s eyes, for the 1st time ever, I couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming feeling of love in the room, and could not contain the tears myself, either . From the moment we saw the Trumpeter Swan upon entering the ship, to the personalized details you gave in not only the ceremony words, but the dedication to those who could not be present, to one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and the cake you had made for us in our colors. You surprised us tremendously with your magic at our table, and the making of the pearl poodles for all the ladies was one of my favorite parts. You made our night truly special! I can’t believe how much you touched all of us at that ceremony that night, especially John, who I have never seen tears from before. Your words had a huge impact on him, and he will never forget you. I, personally, will always be thankful to you for all you have given us through wisdom, and words of love. You truly are a unique man, and I thank you a million times over!! May God Bless you and all you do in the name of love, and may your wife also know how very lucky she is to have a man such as you are! Many Blessings to you and your family!

Love,

Angela and John (Ben,Kristen / Justin, Kristine)

Captain Arnold:

We have just returned from our honeymoon and received your envelope of goodies.

Words cannot begin to express how much we enjoyed our wedding ceremony. The vows completely captured our commitment to our relationship and dreams for our marriage while giving us a good laugh along the way. We were blessed to have our friends and family join us for this special day and we appreciated that they felt so touched by your words. So many of our guests remarked how wonderful the ceremony was. One particular set of parents shared they wished they had met you before their daughter was married!

Thank you so much for everything, including for sending along our special package of a copy of our vows, copy of our license, and a beautiful photo to commemorate the day.

Pam & Brian Granda

Thanks Captain Arnold!!! What a nice surprise.

It’s been 7 months and 12 days since our wedding and we still think of that evening every day. Your ceremony was the perfect fit and it fulfilled my dream of marrying my beautiful Anna aboard a ship, with her children and mine all together, and a very special Captain.

Thanks once again and may God bless you and yours…
Steve & Anna Barry

Dear Captain Arnold,

We just wanted to let you know that you made our wedding ceremony a truly personal and touching experience. Every single one of our guests have called us since the wedding and have told us how much they enjoyed the beautiful vows and words of wisdom that you spoke that day.

We both look back to that day and we can’t help but think how lucky we were that we got married on a beautiful, sunny day in Central Park, surrounded by our loved ones.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making that possible and for making that moment in time so unforgettable.

Sincerely,
Lennon Arcaro and Alina Tarkhanian
