John & Angela Schutte

Hello Captain,

I just wanted to let you know that we did receive the package you sent, and I can’t tell you how happy I was that you included the vows we spoke, being that we didn’t have a video to play back, the one thing I did want to have were the words that you spoke that made my big guy cry! I have only seen tears like that one other time in our ten years together, and they were nowhere near the strength that your words evoked. I thank you! I also will include a full letter that you can post to your site within the week.

Thank you so much again, and I will always be thankful for you. More than you will ever know!

Love – Angela

Hello Captain Arnold,

I wanted to send you this letter of gratitude for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us and our family on the Skyline Princess. I don’t even know if I could find the appropriate words for how you made all of us feel that day. Your words and humor touched not only John and I, but also our sons and daughter-in-laws, who were all married just recently themselves. When I saw their hands reach for each other, and tears flow from my husband’s eyes, for the 1st time ever, I couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming feeling of love in the room, and could not contain the tears myself, either . From the moment we saw the Trumpeter Swan upon entering the ship, to the personalized details you gave in not only the ceremony words, but the dedication to those who could not be present, to one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and the cake you had made for us in our colors. You surprised us tremendously with your magic at our table, and the making of the pearl poodles for all the ladies was one of my favorite parts. You made our night truly special! I can’t believe how much you touched all of us at that ceremony that night, especially John, who I have never seen tears from before. Your words had a huge impact on him, and he will never forget you. I, personally, will always be thankful to you for all you have given us through wisdom, and words of love. You truly are a unique man, and I thank you a million times over!! May God Bless you and all you do in the name of love, and may your wife also know how very lucky she is to have a man such as you are! Many Blessings to you and your family!

Love,

Angela and John (Ben,Kristen / Justin, Kristine)
