Dear Captain Arnold, Having you perform our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I made. From the first conversation we shared you made me feel confidant and at eased. I felt as if I had known you all my life, you felt like family. Little did I know you had been a big…

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,

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,

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.
