Dear Captain Arnold,

Kirk and I wanted to let you know that we received the package you sent us with our beautiful wedding vows. We would also like to thank you for a giving us such a memorable wedding ceremony. Not only were your words touching and heartfelt, and perfect for our intimate setting, but you knew exactly when a little humor was in order to help dry all of the tear-filled eyes. I honestly could not have imagined a more perfect wedding, and we feel honored to have had such a wonderful officiant!

Thanks again,
Kirk and Gina Fay

Hello Capt. Arnold,

Thanks again. All the best, Gina & Mark

Thank you, Captain Arnold. We received the envelope with the pic and the copy of the nuptials. You were a big hit with everyone. Thank you again for making our day so special.

Kris and Steven

Hi Captain Arnold,

We just got back from our honeymoon and this is my second day back at work. We received the package you sent us. Thank you so much for including the vows. We re-read them together and they were just beautiful. I wanted you to know that almost all of our 200 wedding guests complimented you. They loved how you spoke of the meaning of relationships and how to be a great partner. Your words applied not just to us, the bride and groom, but to all the married couples sitting witness to me and Steven. We wanted to say THANK YOU again for making our wedding so special. We are so happy that you were our officiant – we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Thank you again for making our wedding a truly memorable event, not just for us but for our guests as well.

Best wishes,

Denise & Steven Pacchiano

Dear Captain Arnold,

My husband and I were blessed with the pleasure of you performing our Wedding Ceremony aboard the Royal Caribbean’s “Explorer of the Seas” Cruise Ship on May 22, 2008. We were very surprised that a Nautical Captain would be performing our Wedding Ceremony it just added value and Grandeur to the theme of a Grand Ship Wedding. It was not an ordinary Wedding Ceremony that appeared rehearsed and recited several times. You added your own special touch which appealed to my guests as well as my Husband and I. Our ceremony was not only graced by your presence but by your words of Wisdom and Inspiration. Our Wedding Ceremony concluded with the African Tradition of “Jumping the Broom”. As we jumped the broom you selected the words ” We are starting A New”. Thank you so much for helping us to celebrate and commemorate our Marriage and the beginning of our “New” life together. Please accept this letter of Thanks as a token of our appreciation and know that you performed a fantastic ceremony and we are very grateful. Thanks Again.

Sincerely,
Randy & Netoya Nevarez

Captain Arnold,

We just want to thank you for everything you did for us. You not only had a wonderful ceremony but also a great heart. We were so pleased with the lovely vows and your sense of humor. You did a fantastic job of making sure everyone, not just us enjoyed the ceremony. Our friends and family made many remarks about what a wonderful Captain we had. As you already know we had many obstacles with our wedding and you were always there to assist us with any questions and concerns we had. Even though most of our wedding plans were unorganized, above all, you and your staff were very organized and were the most important thing, because we’re now married. We had our marriage certificate and the package you sent us by the time we reached home. Thank you so much for everything you did for us, you were more than just the officiant who said our wedding vows, we will never forget you.

Sincerely,

Andre & Dawn Knowles

Capt. Arnold,

We wanted to let you know that we did receive our letter today along with our vows and a copy of the Marriage License. Thank you so much for your punctuality!

Also, as far as our ceremony is concerned- you were fantastic! All of our guests loved how you were poignant, yet kept the ceremony lighthearted with your upbeat and jovial attitude. We loved your words on love and making a successful marriage last. We also loved the jokes you slid in there every so often. You made our wedding ceremony an experience that not only we will remember, but all of our guests also. Thank you so much for understanding our needs in our ceremony and for fulfilling them in the best possible way! We appreciate the thought you put into our ceremony and we will forever remember it.

Thank you and God bless!

Amy and David Hoppel

P.S. Our cruise was such a blast! ?

Dearest Captain Arnold:

Every moment of our ceremony was beautiful…your words on marriage were so inspirational and heartfelt, and we will hold them in our hearts. Thank you for your beautiful vows that we recited, and for allowing us to recite our own words of love for one another. Also, the unity candle ceremony was wonderful, and thank you for reading the bible marriage verse that Robert requested. You fulfilled our every wish, and we thank you for making our wedding truly unforgettable! We have had many guests say it was the best ceremony they have ever attended.

Robert and Andrea Vurro

Dear Captain Arnold,

Will and I would like to thank you for performing our wedding ceremony. Our entire wedding party was very impressed with your delivery of a very unique and special ceremony. Thank you for helping create a very special day for us. The written copy of our wedding vows and the picture you sent was a wonderful surprise to have waiting for us when we returned home as husband and wife. Thanks again for memories we will treasure for life.

Yours Truly,
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wheeler

Dear Captain Arnold:

Thank you so much for the lovely ceremony you performed for us. I saw the video for the first time, yesterday…and I really got a chance to listen to your words.

After all the excitement of the day, it was next to impossible to remember every moment.

Your ceremony was full of kindness, warmth, wisdom and humor–and I thought your initial remembrance of the people who were not with us to share in the day was a wonderful and important acknowledgment. ( Also, I very much appreciated the copy of our vows you sent to us immediately after the wedding–GREAT IDEA!). The Royal Caribbean Cruise line is so lucky to have you working with them as a partner. We had such a great time! We would do it again in a second and would have to have you there with us!!

Thank you again…

Yours,
Maria and Charles Guenther

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for your e-mail with our vows attached. What a special keepsake to have as we cherish this momentous event, 10 years in the making, for our whole life. And we thank you for your singular role in making it possible for that “life” to be one life together.

I have to say that our guests are still commenting on how your sincere and heartfelt words were one of the highlights of the ceremony. Couples who have been married 30 & 40 years attested to the beauty and wisdom of your sermon. Younger friends of ours, who have yet to make such a commitment, were moved by the promise of equality, respect, and admiration that you incorporated into the unique vows that you created for couples like us to exchange. The themes that you focused on rang true in my heart and mind as I thought back on the decade-long adventure I’ve shared with my husband and the future that lies ahead of us. I knew the same was true for him each time he’d squeeze my hand or give me a look as you spoke to us. Thank you for making it such a personalized and genuine experience for us and our family and friends.

On a more practical note, I also appreciate the ease and simplicity in acquiring your services for the day. You are well organized, reliable & professional, which for a busy bride is a very important because I never once was stressed about this aspect of the planning. You were excellent about contacting me, giving me advanced notice on deadlines and helping me prepare the program for the ceremony.

If you ever make it to the south of France, please look us up.

Captain Arnold,

This is Julie Smith. You married my husband, Thad, and I on March 15th aboard the Norwegian Gem. We both thought the ceremony that you conducted was absolutely beautiful. Family members and friends approached both of us to tell us how much your words meant to them, how true they were. After not knowing what to expect, Thad and I were both pleasantly surprised to have such a precious and meaningful ceremony. It was something we will both remember. Thank you again for being a part of our special day and for helping make it memorable.

Julie & Thad Smith
