Dear Captain Arnold,

It’s been weeks since our wedding, and our family and friends are still talking about how special and unique our ceremony was. And how great “the Captain” was. Many of them tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Chris and I have you to thank for so many of the wonderful memories.

Our families didn’t come out and say it, but Chris and I knew they were skeptical having a “Captain” preside over one of the most important days in our lives. We knew all along we were in good hands.

Your ceremony was thoughtful, sincere, and simply beautiful. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house as we exchanged vows. The words seemed perfectly chosen to reflect our love for each other. We couldn’t have written them better ourselves.

Thanks for convincing us to take time out in the ceremony to honor loved ones who have passed. Our families were so touched that we remembered those who mean so much to us, yet couldn’t be there to share in our joy.

Thank you again for making our day so special.

Debbie and Chris Lang

Dear Capt. Arnold,

Thank you for making our wedding ceremony extra special. At the time of calling you, when I got off the phone, I knew Dave and I made the right decision. You were so helpful and so attentive to all our questions and concerns. Your demeanor was always appreciative.

After the beautiful ceremony you created, all our family and friends were very touched and commented on the wonderful words that were said by you. I was told that many were crying along with Dave and I.

Thank you again for giving us the wonderful and emotional memories.

Fondly,
Lori and Dave Cohen

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for performing our ceremony at the Crescent Beach Club. It was a perfect expression of love for the start of our lives together. Everyone keeps commenting on how great our ceremony was. The sand ceremony was also very fitting. We thank you again for your wonderful words of love and commitment.

Thank you,
Amanda & Jed Herman

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for sending us a copy of our wedding vows and the pictures.

George and I would like to thank you for our ceremony.  It was lucid and thoughtful, and truly made us feel that we went through a profound ceremony that cemented our bond.  The words were carefully chosen and beautifully said. They brought tears to many eyes, including mine as you know very well! Thanks for the warning ahead of time and for bringing the tissues 🙂  Many of our guests came up to us after the ceremony to let us know how much they appreciated it.  They wanted to know how we found you! (Thank you Internet).  As you know we broadcast the ceremony overseas using a webcam, so our distant family could participate in the ceremony as well.  They could hear you quite clearly.  We have saved a recording of the ceremony and enjoy looking at it over again.

The webcam recording does not have very good image quality (we had to keep the resolution low for transmission) but it serves the purpose of a memory — the audio is quite clear though once the volume is turned up.  If you need help viewing it, please let me know!

George and I are leaving for our honeymoon (to Alaska!) in an hour. We will be back on July 10th.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Smita

Note: Through the use of sophisticated modern computer technology combined with our World Wide Web, George and Smita’s wedding ceremony was being broadcast to several different countries around the world. their families and friends in India, the UK, Czech Republic and in Belgium were able to see and hear the ceremony at the same time it was actually happening. They not only were able to capture priceless memories that were also being recorded on a CD, but were able to share them with those they love and who could not be with them to celebrate their very special day, their “wedding day.”  A modern miracle if ever there was one, you might even say it was a special kind of “wedding gift” they gave to their loved one’s instead of receiving.

Dear Captain Arnold,

I am so sorry it has taken so long for us to write. We returned from our honeymoon (which was amazing!) and immediately had to pack to move and with settling back into work… Well, you know how it goes- time just gets away from you. However, I find it to be no excuse, so again, I apologize.

I can’t begin to express to you how much we loved our marriage ceremony. Your words were beyond perfect and touched not only us, but all of our family and friends. We had countless guests tell us that it was the most amazing ceremony they had ever witnessed. You certainly moved the entire crowd. Most importantly, you not only made our day one to remember and cherish forever, but more special than we could have ever imagined it would be.

We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are truly a special person and we feel so lucky to have shared the most important day of our lives with you.

We hope all is well with you and your family.

Love,
Michelle and Matthew Menard

Dear Captain Arnold,
Thank you for conducting such a beautiful and unique ceremony for our wedding.  You fit right into the nautical theme at Danford’s as we were married in the lovely outdoors.  Our mothers were particularly touched by the rose ceremony in which they were honored.
We can’t thank you enough for being a part of our special day!
Dave Giertz & Eve Hollywood-Giertz

Dear Captain Arnold,
Robert and I would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony that you performed. Your ceremony touched not only by Robert and I, but also my Family and friends who can’t stop talking about it. We were deeply touched with your words. I thank you very much, and appreciate everything you have done to make this day wonderful for us!
Sincerely,
Robert & Evelyn Johnson
