Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you very much for your package.

We got everything we needed.

Thank you for the picture! It came out really good!

Thank you for a wonderful and memorable ceremony.

You truly made it a special day for Jason and I and our families.
Your words during the ceremony touched us all.
The sand ceremony was a nice and unique idea, thank you for suggesting it. It really added a special touch.

Thank you again for everything!
Lindsey and Jason Wessels

Hi Capt. Arnold,

I wanted to let you know that Jonathan and I received your package Saturday with a copy of the marriage license, the photo and the vows.

We have to commend you because so many people thought that the ceremony was absolutely beautiful.

Without having a rehearsal dinner, everything we thought went quite well. I especially loved the fact that you sent us the wedding vows…already have it in the wedding album. I took your advice and really listened to the wedding vows and will take them to heart.

The ceremony was unique and especially private for the both of us, who have gone through a lot together over the years. Your words were so touching and so true to us, that our marriage couldn’t have started out in a better way.

Thanks,
Mary and Jonathan Thiessen

Dear Captain Arnold:

It’s with great pleasure that we take this moment to thank you for such a wonderful wedding ceremony.

It was the most beautiful and happiest day of our lives, and you made it even better by doing such a wonderful ceremony.

All of our guests still talk about how much they enjoyed the wedding ceremony. So once again we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for playing a very important role on our special day.

Thank you.
Ellison and Sharon

Dear Captain Arnold,

John and I wish to thank you so much for helping to make our wedding truly a dream come true.

The ceremony was something that we never could have imagined.

All of our guests were so moved and touched by your words.

As we look at the pictures, all our friends and family are beaming with such joy and happiness. Not one person who attended our wedding could say enough as to how special and personal our vows were.

Please accept our sincere thanks to you and your very lovely staff, who treated us as if we were family.

We will never forget this beautiful day of which you played such a major part.

Once again our thanks!!!! With sincere thanks and affection, John and Carol Stella

P.S.-We have received the beautiful wedding vows and picture packet.
Once again our thanks!!!!

Capt Arnold

We received the package containing a copy of our marriage license (thanks so much), one beautiful picture and our wedding vows – so thoughtful!

I can’t find words to express my gratitude for the beautiful ceremony you perform for our wedding on August 13th.
All my guests – friends and now relatives – were absolutely moved and touched by your words:
The ceremony was absolutely magnificent.
Thank you for adding meaning and beauty to our wedding ceremony.
We were absolutely delighted for having you there with us.

Kind regards,
Carla and Phil

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for performing such a truly magnificent wedding ceremony for us on 8.12.06.
Your words, spiced with touches of humor, were inspiring and could not have been more appropriate if I wrote them myself.
Our guests still rave about you and your ceremony!
We could not believe how many people couldn’t wait to speak with you thereafter!

With many warm regards & thanks,
Jillian & Birol Argun

Captain Arnold,

Dan and I wanted to thank you for the absolutely beautiful ceremony that you performed for us. I felt so uneasy about the whole thing until the moment that I spoke to you on the phone. You immediately put my mind at ease.

All of our guests commented on the beautiful words that you chose for our vows and also the heartfelt words that you said speaking about our love. Every person present felt the words that you described.

When I booked the wedding with Royal Caribbean my biggest fear was that the wedding would be too much like a Las Vegas 2 minute ceremony- and what we got was the exact opposite.

Your words were sincere and Dan and I were completely in the moment.
We are extremely appreciative for conveying the message of our love and for making our wedding day a PERFECT day! We thank you again!

Danielle and Daniel Lee

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so beautiful and memorable. So many of our guests have told us that it was the best ceremony they have ever seen! Everyone commented on how your words were truly wonderful and that they were all so touched. Mike and I agree.

It was so much more than we had expected.

You made us feel so special and left us with an amazing memory that will last a lifetime!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We couldn’t be happier! It was just perfect!

All our best,
Ariana and Michael D’Amura Danbury, CT

Dear Capt. Arnold,

It gives us much pleasure to write this letter. Just a few words to thank you for a wonderful day aboard World Yacht on 7/31/06.

I was a little concerned when we booked our daughter’s wedding not having an Officiant, but thanks to Marybeth she gave me your phone number and highly recommended you. I am so grateful.

We knew immediately when we spoke on the phone that you would make the wedding complete.

I loved your “sense of humor” and you helped me step-by-step construct exactly what they wanted.

The day turned out to be perfect; the weather was cool enough to perform the ceremony topside as well.

What impressed us the most was how you included so much “substance” in a short time.

As we carefully listened to your words, you clearly reminded the young couple the true significance of marriage; honor, fidelity etc.

Your personal touch to the ceremony is what made it really really special…….. We can’t thank you enough.

In closing, we can without reservation recommend you to any prospective couple. Your personal attention, professionalism, verbal communication, and sharp wit, has gained our utmost respect for you.

Thanks for a very MEMORABLE day for us all.

Fondly,

Joanne/John LLera
Jen/Mario Flores

Hi Captain!

Sorry for taking a month to finally email you; it actually took that long to get settled back in to our new life together! We appreciate the wonderful ceremony you gave us and for taking care of everything so that we had a peaceful, stress free wedding. We’ve received your package and we thank you for that as well; we’d never considered how significant it would be to look at our actual vows in print.

The following is a paragraph Amber wrote that you can feel free to use on your website: I knew the minute we decided to have our wedding onboard the Skyline Princess, that we were in for a memorable wedding. I had no idea though how wonderful and memorable it would turn out to be! Mike and I had a lot of roadblocks to get through in our relationship, with our families, and with planning our wedding. There were a lot of times leading up to the wedding when I didn’t know how it would all work out.

However, our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT! It was a thousand times better than anything I had pictured in my mind, and not one thing went wrong! The ship was magnificent, the crew treated us like royalty, and Captain Arnold, your words were magic! Although we didn’t have any guests with us, we felt at home and among family on the Skyline Princess. The guests on the ship were so warm and friendly to us that we didn’t really even miss the fact that our families weren’t there! I look back at all our pictures with wonderful memories, July 27, 2006 was the best day of my life!

We plan on returning for a dinner cruise on the skyline princess each year to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you so much for our wonderful ceremony and for making our wedding day absolute perfection! I was going to add something, but she said it all! This occasion really meant a lot to us, and we’re so glad that we entrusted you with it. I’ve enclosed one of the fantastic pics Mimi took. Feel free to throw that up on the website too; it’s a great shot! I’ll send more in a few.

Mimi, thanks so much for being a wonderful help to Amber the whole time.. and thank you for these great shots. We wouldn’t have been able show people all of the great moments we enjoyed if you hadn’t been there. I hope we get to see you again when we come up next summer to dine with the Captain! The both of you will always be in our hearts!!

A million thanks!!
Mike C.

Captain Arnold…

Wow! Where do I begin?! Our wedding was everything I’d hoped for and more! Your words were beautiful, and fitting, to boot! It was as if you’ve know Michael and I for as long as we’ve been together! AMAZING!

The fitting tribute to my father as well as the special moment for our mothers were so heartfelt. We truly appreciate all of it. Everyone keeps commenting how unique and special the sand ceremony was, and how nice that will be for us to look at for years to come!

We’ve received our photo, as well as a copy of our vows and our license. How kind of you to put such care into getting those things to us. It was a pleasant suprise when we got home from our honeymoon.

All I can say is THANK YOU!! You are terrific! God bless you!

Thanks again,
AmyJo Shaffer

Dear Captain Arnold,

We just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You certainly did provide a “fairytale wedding” for us.

All our guests commented on how the ceremony was beautiful – from the way that you helped honor my sister’s memory – to the “child ceremony” (which my son, Noah, absolutely loved).

You not only served as officiant but you went above-and-beyond the call of duty. You made sure all of our guests were taken care of and socialized with everyone as if you were an old friend.

Imagine our surprise when we received not only our package from you a week and a half after our wedding, but also our official marriage license from the City of NY!

You are professional, good-hearted and a true gentleman.

It was a pleasure to be married by you.

Thank you, thank you , thank you!

Best regards,
Lisa & Bernabé Suarez

Dear Captain Arnold,

We don’t know where to begin. Words can’t describe how beautiful the ceremony was. Straight from the heart it was better then we imagined.

So many compliments from everyone that was there saying it was the best they have every heard and been to. It really meant a lot.

Thank you for the picture of us together and the verbiage of the vows. We will never forget it.

Thank you for the best ceremony possible.

Love,
Robin & Jason Sheehy.

Thank you Capt. Arnold for making our wedding day so memorable.

All of our guests commented on how unique and special the ceremony was. Thank you also for taking the time to put together our photo, our license and our vows–your words were beautiful and fit us to a T!

We couldn’t have been happier-our wedding was perfect!

Sincerely,
Matthew & Theresa Clother

Capt. Arnold,

Steve and I wanted to express our appreciation and heartfelt thanks for making our wedding day such a memorable occasion. We both felt, and every guest agreed, that your ceremony was truly special. After 15 years, you made my wedding day more magical than I ever could have imagined.

Thank you!

All Our Best,

All Our Best,
Steve & Bovagita Hartman

We just had to let you know how much we appreciated the beautiful marriage ceremony you performed at our wedding.

Our guests remarked to us how inspiring your words were to them. May we say, they were moving to us as well. The blending of sand was a unique way of showing the unity we will share in our lives ahead and is one we will never forget and will celebrate each year of our anniversary.

Our mothers were surprised, thrilled and so appreciative of the roses we presented to them. But your words seemed to add the “icing on the cake.” They will keep these memories of love and know they will enjoy the pleasures of a happy, loving and united family.

Please accept our sincerest gratitude. You made our wedding and the celebration of marriage vows one that will last forever in our hearts. As we spend our years together, our memories of that day will bring us together through good times and bad.

Thank you.
Carol and Robert Cerrochi
