Dear Captain Arnold
Let me start by saying what a fantastic ceremony you performed for us at the Tavern on the Green. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and complimented us on our choice of officiate. “TAKE NOTE! Anyone reading this who may be in the market for an Officiate, shall not find a more sincere, genuine and humorous man than Captain Arnold. He provides a truly MAGICAL ceremony, in all meanings of the word!”
Best regards,
Tim & Penny Youens
“And here’s another little note on their 1st anniversary”.
Captain Arnold Thank you very much for the E-Card, it was a lovely thought. Its hard to believe that its been a year since that wonderful day. Its a memory that will last in Pennys & my minds forever.
Pen asked me on Saturday just gone, what I was doing a year ago to the day. She said “sitting on a stainless toilet with a piece of crusty bread”
I hope one day I can re-live the day again by renewing our vows and personally, get out of it what I had initially hoped for.
You’ll be in our thoughts eternally.
All the best
Penny & Tim

Hi Captain!
Sorry its taken a while to get back to you. Its has been a couple of hectic weeks with family, friends and coworkers since we got back from the honeymoon. The cruise was very nice indeed.
We would really like to thank you for the amazing ceremony in Central Park. Considering the fact that we had never spoken to you in person before the wedding day, we didn´t really know what to expect! The day turned out better then we ever could have hopped for!! So did everybody else that was there. Our realtives from Chicago remarked, “You know, we have been to several weddings at our church. Most of the time the Reverend have known the couple getting marreid their whole lifes, and still never gets close to the personal and loving feeling the Captain created!”.
Thank you for a great day!
Henrik and Marlene Englund

Dear Captain Arnold:
You conducted our wedding ceremony a little over a year ago on January 4th, 2008 aboard the “Explorer of the Seas”. On that day, there was a 3 hour delay before our ceremony and we had over 60 guests, that weren’t cruising, aboard to witness our ceremony.
You rose above all of the mayhem of the day and managed to pull off a beautiful ceremony for us and I wanted to let you know that Larry and I will never forget your professionalism and your ability to pretty much work magic on that day.
Once again Captain Arnold, from both of us…..we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Sincerely,
Nicole & Larry Bailin

WEDDING LOCATION:
Married at the “Ladies Pavilion” (Central Park, New York City, NY)
Dear Captain Arnold,
Greetings from Memphis!
Wendy and I wanted to thank you again for everything! We can’t thank you enough for your helpful information, your assistance with the marriage license process, and your kindness and tender care for us from the moment we contacted you. And as a proud former Marine, I was only too happy to have a Coast Guard Chaplain in uniform able to perform our ceremony!
When Wendy and I finished the New York City marathon together in Central Park on November 4, 2007 that place became something incredibly special for us. And although we made the decision to fly back to New York from Memphis to have our wedding in Central Park, we were unsure about a suitable location within the park for our ceremony. Your suggestion of the Ladies Pavilion for the wedding ceremony was perfect. And the pavilion was not far from the finish line of the marathon!
As wonderful as those things were, it was your personalization of the ceremony and the depth and practicality of your counsel that truly made our wedding ceremony special beyond whatever we could have hoped for. The things you said during the ceremony are things we will always remember and strive to apply in our lives together. Thank you again for everything! We hope to hear from you soon!
God bless you and happy new year!
Tony & Wendy Ludlow

Dear Capt. Arnold:
My wife and I want to thank you for such a wonderful marriage ceremony that you presided over on 30NOV07. Your words made our wedding ceremony special and unique, just as you had promised. Before the ceremony, you took the time and talked to us separately to help us relax and gave us words of wisdom. Your words of wisdom meant a great deal to us and will be in our hearts forever. During the ceremony, your words of how to keep a happy marriage and what love is about truly touched not only us but others in attendance. A lot of the people who were at the ceremony came up to us afterwards giving us nothing but praise. There were quite a few couples that told us that they felt as if you were talking to them and how much your words touched them.
Again, thank you so much for everything.
