Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for the beautiful and meaningful wedding ceremony that you prepared for us. We will always remember our wedding on September 27, 2008. The ceremony spoken by you was truly the center point of the day. Dan and I both focused on your eloquent words as we exchanged marriage vows. I will frame a copy of those vows as a most precious keepsake.

Our family and friends also praised you and the wonderful wedding ceremony. Thank you again for your encouragement and help in making our wedding day so special.

With many thanks,
Dorothy Fiedler (Creighton)

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for an unforgettable ceremony. It was absolutely perfect. Your words were meaningful, yet entertaining. Each time we started to get emotional you made us laugh.

Many of our guests commented on how your words held special meaning for them as well. The ceremony was truly our favorite part of the whole day. We cannot thank you enough for making our day one we will never forget.

Sincerest regards,
Donna & Tom Wundeler

Captain Arnold,

Over a year ago, we placed our faith in you as planning a wedding in New York while residing in Atlanta would be a great challenge. From the first time we spoke, you promised the day would come fast and that you would make our special day a wonderful and almost stress-free event. You not only fulfilled your promises, you exceeded all of our wildest dreams for our special day. Your wedding package left us with very little to do besides showing up ready to express our love for each other.

Family and friends from all over the country were greatly touched by your caring presentation and the fine entertainment you provided throughout the evening. It was an evening filled with lots of love, tears of joy, great sites of the New York skyline and tons of laughter. We set forth on our honeymoon knowing that as a newly married couple, we made our first of many lifelong decisions correctly.

The ceremony, special recognitions, and vows were delivered with such warmth, meaning, and class…your words elevated us to a level we have never experienced before…simply a heavenly dream come true.

We will always remember you as a special member of our family.

Mr. & Mrs. Haskins

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your beautiful ceremony. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding and we are so grateful for the wonderful and memorable ceremony you performed.

So many people told me that you were great and wondered how I got such a great person to do our wedding ceremony.

Pavlos and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been a little over three months and people are still talking about it. Thanks for the memory!

With all our hearts,
Gina & Pavlos

Dear Captain Arnold,

Evan and I wanted to tell you how much we loved our wedding ceremony. It was so special and beautiful. The words that we repeated to each other were not only touching but so true. And at the times when we thought we would be overwhelmed with emotions, you would make us all laugh. It was perfect. When we asked the guest what was their favorite part of the wedding; they told us the ceremony. Thank you again.

PS…we love the picture! Thanks for sending it.

All the best Jill and Evan Maloney

Dear Captain Arnold,

On September 11, 2008 on board, Explorer of the Seas you held one memorable wedding ceremony for Lilyan and Luis Martins and we want to thank you for a very special day. We will never forget the entire ceremony as it was very special to us. We want to thank you for a superb work.
Lilyan & Luis

Jeff and I just got back from Bermuda to find the package you sent waiting for us. Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful day that we will always cherish. I can’t wait to frame the copy of the vows and display it with the photo you sent. Everyone is still going on about how lovely the ceremony was. Your words made a huge impact not only on us but also friends and family who have been happily married for years. You inspired a few couples I know of to renew their own vows in the upcoming months. I will always cherish our wedding day, thank you so much for being a part of it. It truly was the perfect day, it was everything we wanted and even more than we hoped for. The day went by so quickly, a lot of it is a blur but I know I will always remember every word you spoke and every moment of the ceremony and most importantly, every vow that was said. Thank you for making it so special, and personal.

“Captain Arnold really got to know us, and why we were getting married. We never felt like a number or just another client. He and I had several long phone conversations, he really wanted to know who we were. The ceremony was beautiful, poolside in our backyard. It really felt like each word spoken was picked especially for us. There wasn’t anything that made it feel impersonal or routine. He either had our friends and family laughing or crying happy tears, everyone felt involved in the ceremony as opposed to just watching. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Captain Arnold. He turned my best friend into my husband, I’ll always be thankful for that. As long as I live, every time I look at my husband’s wedding ring, I’ll always laugh about how he joked it was so big it looked like a bagel. You can’t go wrong with Captain Arnold, I can’t say enough good things about him.”

Dear Capt. Arnold

When my husband and I decided to get married we wanted to make sure our wedding ceremony would be as magical and memorable as the reception and we could not be happier. The ceremony could not have been more beautiful and heartfelt. Your words truly captured John and I as a couple and reciting our beautiful vows to each other is a memory that I love to repeat in my mind and I always will. All of our family and friends commented on how wonderful you were. Thank you so much for being there and contributing to the best day of our lives.

Sincerely,
Mr.& Mrs. John and Vanessa Humann

Dear Captain Arnold,

Having you perform our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I made. From the first conversation we shared you made me feel confident and at eased. I felt as if I had known you all my life, you felt like family. Little did I know you had been a big part of my family for many years…It was a huge surprise to learn that you and my sister Lou-Lou had been friends for many years. ‘ What are the chances’!! Just shows you that this world isn’t so big after all.

The child and sand ceremonies were absolutely beautiful as it touched everyone’s heart and brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and still, you managed to make everyone laugh with your great sense of humor!

It was very difficult to keep you a surprise from David, but very well worth it! He can’t stop talking about you and how wonderful it was to have you perform our ceremony, he felt very special!!!!

Our wedding vows couldn’t me more perfect! You walked us through it with such confidence, love, and warmth. Our guest are all still talking about how touching the ceremony was. You created a memory that will forever live in our hearts………Thank you so much !!!!

Dear Captain,

Sorry for the delay!
We would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you performed at our wedding. All our guests and parents were so happy and they all shared the same emotion with us. Our moms were so glad that we remembered them during such an important day. Thanks for suggesting the rose ceremony! All our Italian friends were amazed by the idea of a real captain celebrating the wedding.

We hope to see you soon.

Best,
Chiara & Matteo

Dear Captain Arnold,

We have finally arrived back to the States from our honeymoon. It feels so good to be back in our own bed. Unfortunately, we still have to go back to work.

We’ve received your package of our vows, the beautiful picture of the three of us together, and the copy of our marriage license. Reading the vows over again, both Michael and I laughed at each other for messing up during the actual ceremony. We both can’t wait to view our video in which we will enjoy.

Michael and I are very grateful that we have chosen you to marry us. Thank you for giving us a beautiful wedding to remember. We’ve received many compliments of the ceremony. Your words of wisdom, the tribute ceremony, the rose ceremony and child ceremony touched all of my guests. They’ve all told us that it was their honor to have witnessed such a unique and special ceremony which they have never seen in other weddings they’ve attended.

Thank you again Captain Arnold. I will surely pass your website and name to all my engaged friends to be married.

Sincerest regards,
Shirley & Michael

Dear Captain Arnold,

We just wanted to thank you for being a part of our wedding day. We were so nervous about what our ceremony would be like and we couldn’t have been happier with the ceremony you performed. It was amazing how personal and heartfelt you were able to make our ceremony after only meeting us an hour before it began. Your words were meaningful and inspiring and we are both very pleased with our decision to have a cruise wedding aboard the Norwegian Spirit. It was such a nice surprise to come home to a copy of our vows, a letter from you, and a beautiful picture. Thanks for making our wedding day so incredibly special and you will always be remembered in our wedding day memories.

Yours Truly,
Janine and Jeffrey Brooks

Captain Arnold,

As we hit the three-month anniversary of our nuptials, Janine and I thought it was high time that we reach out to reflect on how grateful we are for your being part of our special day. As echoed in so many of the letters from other couples you have touched, your insightful sentiments on love, your beautifully composed vows of commitment, and your charm and humor struck a chord within the hearts and minds of so many of our loved ones in attendance. We cannot possibly thank you enough for the warmth and emotion your genuine nature added to our ceremony.

Warm regards,
Janine and George

Dear Captain Arnold,

Well … what can we say but … Thank you soo much for performing our Wedding ceremony !!

Thank you for making our Wedding day so very special and a memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives !!

When we spoke to you the first time, we felt confident that you would perform a marvelous Wedding Ceremony and we could not have been more correct !! We are still hearing the words from family and guests about how warm, wonderful, and truly unique and special our ceremony was !! Most of all … your words, your warmth, and also your deep voice and sincerity which really touched us and all of our guests !!

We especially thank you too for suggesting the “Sand Ceremony” because it brought tears to many an eye, (mine and Diana’s as well…) and really touched our heart and we will never forget it !!

As I write you this note, I can still “picture” us standing there in front of you and I must tell you, it was the very best decision we could have made to have you perform our ceremony !!

We wanted to say thank you for making us husband and wife and for helping create a memory that will last forever !!

I would highly recommend you to any other couple who wants more then just a “regular marriage ceremony” but wants that “Special Ceremony” that will create a memory that will last them forever as well !!

Thank you again for giving what we wanted and so much more !!

With Warmest Regards & Best Wishes,
Mark & Diana Mauriello
