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

Dear Capt. Arnold,

Carlton and I just wanted to thank you for providing us with a truly wonderful and special day. You made the occasion so special with your heartfelt and poignant words during the ceremony, that we will likely never forget them. The atmosphere was so romantic. Our wedding cake was so beautiful not to mention very delicious. The music was great. All our family and friends thought the idea of having our wedding on a ship to be unique and everyone had a great time. Thank you again.

With warmest sincerity,
Carlton & Regina Brown

Dear Captain Arnold,

Our guests are still talking about you and asking where we found you. They all had tears in their eyes (even the tough ones who never cry) and several commented that your unique and emotional ceremony was more touching and meaningful than a conventional religious service. Our mothers were honored by the Rose Ceremony and couldn’t thank us more for their special moment.

We’ve decided to celebrate our marriage by renewing our vows each year on our anniversary, so we are excited to see (and hear) you again next August and in the many years to come!

PS Thank you for pics

Warm Regards,
Mr. and Mrs. Durand

Dear Captain Arnold,

Words cannot express how happy we were with our ceremony. I was so worried that it would be boring and generic since we had not written our own vows ……..boy was I wrong. Your words were very eloquent and meaningful and you made us feel very comfortable. We got back from our cruise a few days ago and guests are still calling to say how impressed they were and how meaningful and memorable the ceremony was. If we ever renew our vows you will definitely be the one we will call. Thank you again for being a part of a magical day that will be in our hearts forever.

John and Nicola Scott

Dear Captain Arnold,

Please accept our thanks for the outstanding wedding performed for our son, Craig Semple and his beautiful bride Lynn aboard the Norwegian Cruise Ship Dawn on July 20th. Being a traditionalist, admittedly I had my doubts about a destination wedding. We were so impressed and loved your realistic advice. Once again, on behalf of our family, thanks.

Sincerely,
Stuart and Donita Semple

Dear Captain Arnold,

My husband and I were married by you on July 19, 2008, aboard the Caribbean Princess and we just wanted to say thank you. You made the day special and memorable by providing a unique ceremony, entertaining stories, and comforting words. Words cannot express how much happiness you brought to my husband and I and to all of our guest. Once again thank you for making our special day more special then we ever imagined.

Sincerely,
Christine & Brian Skillen.

Dear Cap:

Just wanted to let you know Marci and I received our official wedding license in the mail today. We cannot begin to express our thanks for the magical ceremony you performed for us a couple of weeks ago today. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house ( or should I say on the beach, wink) from the moment you began to speak your incredibly eloquent, insightful, loving words. You truly put the icing on the day and put a feeling in our hearts, through your words, that I know will stay with Marci and I for a lifetime.

When we have part two next spring, we absolutely want you there, whether to renew our vows or just plainly as our guest. You will forever remain in our hearts. Thank you again and we hope you are well and wish you nothing but the best.
Till next time my friend…………..

Warmest Regards, Joe

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for making our long awaited wedding day so special. Our friends and family made so many comments about how beautiful your words were. Many of our long married couples felt renewed strength in their own marriages from hearing your words. There was not a dry eye in the room and all of the tears were joyful and happy. Our daughter was made to feel very special and that meant a lot to us. You are highly recommended to anyone who wants a Wedding to remember forever!

Thank you again,

Heather and Linas Zelvis ( and Lia too!)

Dear Captain Arnold,

You were absolutely correct – The one thing that everyone remembered was the ceremony. They were all impressed with all that you said. It was truly romantic and we were both pleased. Thank you also for the copy of our vows and wonderful picture. I wanted to leave a comment online but couldn’t find that option.

Always,
The Clyburns

Hello Captain,

Sorry I have not emailed you sooner. First of all thank you again for your services on July 4th. Everyone that attended had nothing but good things to say about you. Hands down you are best Officiant I have come across. Many of friends and family said the same thing. My wife and I are so happy we chose you!! I have attached some comments for your website. I mean every word of it!! It was a pleasure. You will definitely be recommended whenever I have the opportunity. I am also sending your some pictures as well. Originally my wife and I wanted a local preacher to perform the wedding ceremony. However, due to a last minute conflict, he was not able to do it. So my wife and I nervously researched online for an Officiant. We came across Captain Arnold’s website and we were impressed with his presentation and professionalism. Every time we spoke he reassured me with confidence that he was the best choice. Everyone at my ceremony came to us afterward and told us how much they loved the Captain. While my wife and I were back stage getting ready, he was talking to our guests and telling jokes that made them feel at ease and put them in the right spirits. The Captain speaks from his heart and does not need to read from notes or books. He turned several negative things that occurred into positives. For example, when my wife and I were attacked by a persistent fly at the altar, he used a book to catch the fly in mid air! Ok, not quite, the fly escaped but the entire audience broke out in laughter and it just added to the magic of the event! The success of the ceremony set a positive, irreversible energy and tone for the rest of the day. Weeks later, we still have friends calling us and saying how inspirational our wedding was. The Ceremony is the most important part of your wedding! Do not choose anything less than perfection!!!

Love, Kevin and Fujiko Saunders

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for a beautiful ceremony, your words were magic!!! I will never forget them. I will cherish that moment forever.

With Love,
Stephanie Pacheco

Dear Captain Arnold,

Steve and I want to thank you so very much for a truly special wedding ceremony. We love it, and so did our guests. Your beautifully touching words brought many of our guests to tears.

Before we met, I have to admit that I was little nervous about how the ceremony would turn out. Once we met, and I read your website with all of the great testimonials, I started to feel more comfortable. We appreciate the time and effort you put into getting to know us better and putting me at ease ahead of our wedding day.

Not only did you perform a beautiful ceremony, but you were also perfectly professional and helpful with managing the ceremony. I was so happy to be able to relax and take my mind off the little details. Jessica was especially helpful in getting everyone organized.

We really appreciate all that you did for us on our special day. We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a professional, talented wedding chaplain.

Best wishes,
Christy and Steve Ingkavet
