Dear Captain Arnold,
What can I say? Words are not enough to thank you for making our Fairy Tale wedding complete. Your ceremony was touched not only by Frank, Vincent and myself but everyone who attended. You helped people remember their own vows and sparked a few older couples into remembering their own. Guests are sending us Thank you cards thanking us for inviting them to such a touching ceremony saying, they have never been to a ceremony that was so beautiful and filled with such emotion. Our vows to Vincent. Wow! Thank you for giving us the words that were in our hearts to say to our son that we would not have been able to do if not for you. I will be sending you a copy of the video (as soon as I get it). I want the world to see your heart filled child ceremony as well as the candle ceremony together with your added humor, all of which adds up to a Fairytale Wedding.
Thank you,
Frank and Karla DiCarlo

Dear Captain Arnold,
We are truly grateful for the memorable ceremony you performed for us.  We continue to hear how “perfect” the ceremony was for us.  We weren’t able to grasp the vows at the time as we were so nervous, but we are thankful for the video (we are still editing it for you).   The ceremony was a unique one for us as well as all our guests, the best one ever!!  They all cried including us!!  Mikey and Joshua were perfect gentlemen and were surprised by their Child’s ceremony vows we spoke to them.  We are touched you were able to perform our ceremony and will definitely refer you to all our friends and family. Thank you ?
Sondra, Juan, Mikey & Joshua

Dear Captain Arnold,

Luis and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony. I’m glad to know that having you to perform our ceremony was one of the best and easiest decision I’ve made while planning this event. My family and friends, along with myself were deeply touched with your words. Because of you, this day will never be forgotten!

Thank you for sharing this special day with us.

Sincerely,
Luis and Lourdes Agramonte

Dear Captain Arnold,
Luke & I loved having our son Travis included in the ceremony. He was full of smiles as he was held next to us which means, he liked it too! That day was special for all of us in our own ways.
Thank you
Danielle, Luke & Travis Braun

Captain Arnold,

A Special Thank You!!!    Ray and I did receive our Wedding Vows on such elegant Ivory paper. We seem to read the vows to each other often. Also, our marriage certificate was enclosed. Thank you for the picture of us together and your special wishes. We will treasure them always

Captain Arnold, Your presence in your Captain’s Uniform and knowing you are an ordained Chaplain was so meaningful to us. The Heavens opened up on April 2nd with showers of Joy for Ray and I–ALSO, for all of our guests. They asked us–Where did you meet him? Ray–Is he a friend of yours? Jackie–Tell us how do you know him?–To Ray and Jackie–That was the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony we have ever heard.

Again–Amidst all the showers of Joy–Jackie’s sister Carol said that she is going to find herself a husband and have you marry her. Ray and I wanted to include all of our guests from near and far. You made this all possible with the poetry and readings which were written and read by family. We could not imagine the fineness and elegance of it all

Many Warm Wishes,

Ray and Jackie

“…Mesi and I would like to thank you so much for everything you have done for us. You made our wedding day so beautiful and a moment we will never forget. You picked the best location in Central Park and your ceremony was eloquently presented touching everyone present. Everything that day was truly amazing thanks to you. We want to thank you again for your support and guidance. We appreciate everything you have done for us especially making our wedding so beautiful and memorable. You are an amazing person and orator.”

Very truly yours,

Roger & Mesi

Dear Capt. Arnold:

Thank you for sending us a copy of our wedding vows, marriage license, and photo. Thank you for all you did for us.   You always corresponded back to us when we had questions. You made the planning stress free.

Thank you for coming all the way out to Nassau Point to marry us.   We could not think of a more perfect place for us to get married.   Every New Year’s Day our family gets together in Nassau Point to start the New Year off being together.   I knew we made the right decision to also start our married life off on that same day with our loved ones surrounding us.

The weather could not have been more perfect.   The ceremony was very emotional, touching and brought everyone to tears of joy.   To be able to marry the one you love surrounded by the people who are most important in your life is a gift that we both cherish.

Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful you were, how beautiful the ceremony was and how magnificent the words were spoken.   Thank you for interjecting humor as well.

Our family was most interested and fascinated with those brilliant magic tricks you entertained them with.  The children loved the little animals you made from beads.   Everyone was very impressed.

Again we thank you for making January 1, 2005, our special day.   It was an honor to have you perform our marriage ceremony.   May this year be filled with joy, happiness, and health for you and your family.

Sincerely,

Charles and Helen Green

Dear Captain Arnold

Wishing you and your family; happiness, peace, and love in these special days of Christmas. But mainly, we appreciate the devote attention and the gentle manner you showed us from the first moment when you were contacted by Adelina.

It was wonderful to feel your great interest, by telephone and email messages, all in an aim to prepare for our special day. It made us think that the decision to contract you for our marriage was perfect.

During the ceremony in front of you, and our guests, in truth it was very pleasant to listen to your advice, to share our togetherness and happy lives. I thank you very much for mentioning my parents and my family, who resides in Costa Rica and for this reason of the distance they could not accompany us.

To know you personally was fantastic. All the guests expressed their joy and because of this, we decided to write to you about our experience.

To have chosen you was a brilliant idea, our dream became a reality when we traveled on the love boat.

Thank you with all heart.

God bless you,

CARLOS and GABRIELA HIGHBRIDGE

Dear Captain Arnold, Happy New Year!
Since our wedding on December 11, 2004, the honeymoon, Christmas, New Year’s and then finally trying to get back into the swing of things – this is the first downtime I’ve had to collect my thoughts. First and foremost, I want to thank you for not only the most memorable ceremony anyone could have asked for but also the support you had given to us leading up to that moment. I don’t think things would have gone as smoothly as they did if it wasn’t for the guidance you gave. Getting married is a nervous time for everyone and when I was at my breaking point I just picked up the phone like you said, called you and you calmed me down. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything you have done for us.
Sincerely,
Chris & Kim Mercurio

Happy New Year, Captain Arnold!

Thank you for the note and as I am sure you will understand in this busy holiday season, we’ve been remiss in thanking you.

Your touching ceremony and thoughtful words and sentiments are often mentioned by both of our families as, unlike any other wedding.  We would like to, in fact, we need to thank you for adding immeasurably to our very special day.  With all the decisions that had to be made, all the planning that needed to take place, we can easily say that choosing you to perform our ceremony was the easiest and most rewarding.  Your attention to every detail and suggestion to include our families in the ceremony made for an even more memorable day.  The lighting of the Unity candle tapers by our mothers and including Trevor in the exchanging of rings as a sign of our commitment to him as parents touched our hearts.

The ceremony itself, with words that so accurately expressed our feelings for each other, was what made that day our day.  All lifelong commitments should start with such deeply moving feelings.  Your thoughts of our future and what lay ahead continue to inspire us each time we reminisce.  Please know that we appreciate you and thank you.

Take care and best wishes,
Leigh Ann and Henry Hodo

Hi Captain Arnold,

Yes, we did receive the copy of the marriage license, the vows, and the picture.  It was the first wedding picture that we had.  I did want to also thank you for the beautiful way that you had printed out our wedding vows.  I have a frame already to put it in.  What else can I say, I was definitely overwhelmed by all of your words as you could probably tell with all the tears of joy in my eyes.

I also wanted to thank you for not getting upset when the ceremony did not start on time.

Everything was perfect from you, it truly will be a day I will never forget.

Thank you again and take care!
Leigh Ann Hodor

Dear Captain Arnold,

…. We have received your package including the wedding certificate.  Thank you for the enclosed wedding photo of us.  Vanna’s parents came over for Christmas dinner and we watched the video of the wedding ceremony. We all agreed how professional you were and the nice sense of humor you had.  Vanna and I would like to thank you again for your excellent service.  We will definitely recommend the Captain for our friends’ upcoming weddings.  Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year Captain Arnold.

Sincerely,
Vanna and Phil

Dear Captain Arnold:

We wanted to thank you for all that you did for us. We received the copy of the vows and the copy of the marriage certificate from you when we got back from our honeymoon. The vows are really beautiful and really touched our hearts. We’re very happy that you sent us a nice copy of the vows. We already put it in a frame. Also, thanks for always being there for us. I am especially grateful because there were times I definitely needed to speak with someone about some issues and when no one else was there, you were. We could never have done it without you and certainly, we see how very important the ceremony is, more so than the reception. Many of our guests at the reception, later on, had told us what a beautiful and smooth ceremony it was and that it also touched their hearts as well.

Keep in touch.
Love,
Karen and Rich

Hi Captain Arnold,
Well, we are back from our honeymoon and getting on with regular life. I wanted to send you a note to thank you for a wonderful ceremony just as you had promised.
As I had told you before, this was both Robert’s and my 2nd wedding and I wanted to be sure that it wasn’t going to be like a typical 1st wedding ceremony, there wasn’t going to be the traditional wedding march played and quite honestly I just wanted it to be unique to our situation. You assured me that it would be and you didn’t disappoint me at all. I was so happy with your very heartfelt words and my friends and family haven’t stopped saying what a wonderful and special ceremony it was. When making my wedding plans, I was constantly told by so many of the different people I needed to hire that their part of the wedding was the most important. The DJ said he was, the photographer said he was and I even think the florist said they were….. I knew better because quite honestly I had been there and done that!!!! I knew that the true most important part was the ceremony itself, the moment when I would become the wife of the man I truly loved and the memory of that special time will be with me forever. Not the photographer’s talented way of posing me and my family, not the great music that played, but the strong deep felt the inspirational way that I became married to my soul mate and best friend in life. I have you to thank for just that. I will remember that time for the rest of my life. I am so happy to have that memory with me forever. You are a special person with a special purpose in life and I am so happy that I found you because it just wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Thank you so very much for everything!
-Catherine & Robert Masci
