Dear Captain Arnold,
We are writing to you to express how beautiful you made our wedding ceremony. From our first meeting with you, you made us feel comfortable, explained to us what we could expect during the ceremony and made sure we were relaxed.
Our vows that you provided were so meaningful and the sand ceremony was very special to us. The contrasting colors of red and yellow were fabulous.
Our friends and family were so impressed with the ceremony. “We thought you would say ‘I do’, ‘I do’ and the ceremony would be over, but instead it was a very beautiful wedding.”
Captain Arnold, when we look back on our special wedding day, we will always remember you fondly. Thank you for wedding memories that will forever live in our minds and in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Jacquelyn and Timothy Martin

Dear Capt. Arnold
This letter is long overdue, but as time passes you are more and more appreciated. It meant so much to us that someone who had met us before we went on the journey towards marriage could marry us. I knew from the time we had met before and all the stories we had heard about you that one day when the time was right you would be the one to marry us. Of all the difficult decisions that come with planning a wedding, you were the easiest and you exceeded our expectations a million times over. We still continue to this day, almost a year later, hearing about how wonderful and amazing Capt. Arnold was at our wedding. From family to friends and colleagues, young and old, everyone has acknowledged how special you made our ceremony and as we continue to attend more weddings since, all we hear is “That was nice, but it wasn’t the Captain.” When you really look back, a wedding isn’t about the flowers, the cake or the dress. It’s about the commitment two people make to each other and you made that moment stand out and not be forgotten as so many tend to do. Words can’t describe how memorable you made our wedding. You made us laugh and cry and really think about the commitment we were making. The sand ceremony and the rose ceremony really added that individual touch so many of our guests had never seen, adding to the uniqueness we successfully created with your help. You truly have an amazing way with words and know how to captivate people’s hearts. You are a special person and will hold a very dear place with us always. We look forward to watching our video ceremony over and over and it is because of you that we will continue to enjoy one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Thank you for being part of our wedding and for everything you did to make it special. Take care of yourself and hopefully we will see you soon.
Love always,
Jill & Sanjoy

We cannot thank Captain Arnold enough for his outstanding service. He incorporated our selections of religious readings into his tailored ceremony. Our guests continue to rave about his sense of humor and unique speech, even inquiring for his contact information to renew their vows or perform their marraige . The sand ceremony was a perfect substitute for a candle lighting during our outdoor ceremony and the rose ceremony was a perfect way to honor our mothers on our special day.

Hi Capt. Arnold,
Sorry we did not write back to so soon after the cruise. We just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the ceremony that you performed and how smoothly everything went thanks to you and Jessica (wedding coordinator). I don’t think it requires mentioning how stressful and nerve racking a wedding day can be but Nat and I felt that our day unfolded with a breeze…. a sea breeze as it were (haha). Everyone who attended the ceremony kept talking about how impressed they were with it. It was the topic of conversations throughout the cruise. Your words and the vows that Nat and I exchanged brought tears of joy and smiles to everyone that day.
We remember how you told us beforehand to really listen to what you were saying throughout the ceremony and to focus on the meaning of the words. We wanted to let you know that we did and they really meant alot to us. Our day truly was a memorable day that we will cherish forever and we wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your help in coaching us through and making the day so wonderful for everyone.
With great gratitude,
Sean A. Belpulsi & Nathalie Savoy

Dear Captian Arnold,
We received our package today! Even your package was great. We loved it! We couldn’t have been happier that day and you made it all the more happier. We had so many people tell us how wonderful your ceremony was. Everyone had mentioned a little piece of your advice that they themselves had found helped them have a happy marriage. Most mentioned was “Don’t go to bed angry.”
Thank you again.

Dear Captain Arnold,
We just looked at the calendar and realized it has been 3 weeks since you performed our wedding ceremony aboard The Skyline Princess in Flushing, NY. We are sorry it has taken us so long to write but our schedule has been as hectic after the wedding as it was before.
We wanted to thank you for all of your help prior to our wedding and more importantly we want to thank you for making our special day memorable and magical. My grandmother and John’s mother were truly touched to have our deceased relatives mentioned during our ceremony. John keeps asking me if you and I spoke prior to your choosing the vows, that’s how fitting your beautiful words were. My guests keep remarking on how wonderful everything turned out.
For me, there was something deeply touching about reciting vows that seemed tailor made for John & me while overlooking the water in our dockside ceremony. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding a dream come true. We were also surprised that you sent us a copy of our vows. It was the perfect compliment to a beautiful ceremony & reception. Thank you again! We hope to take another cruise aboard The Skyline Princess to celebrate our first year wedding anniversary.
With all our Love,
Cynthia & John Heid

Dear Captain Arnold,
It is the first day of our honeymoon, but we had to write to you to thank you for making our wedding perfect! You truly are the best!
Our guests left the ship at 3:15pm yesterday and by 3:30pm my cell phone was ringing and I was receiving text messages, all telling me how amazing your ceremony was! You and your team of wedding coordinators and photographer allowed us to enjoy our special day stress free.
Thank you again for everything you did and for the wonderful memories!

Hello Captain Arnold,
I am sorry it has taken so long to respond to you. Vy and I received your package. Thank you very much for the picture and a copy of the vows.
Vy and I were very happy with the ceremony. It was a bit nerve racking to arrive on your wedding day without ever having met the person who is about to perform the ceremony and only having the testimonials of people you don’t know as a reference. However, both my wife and I as well as most of our guests felt that this was one of the most beautiful and heart-felt ceremonies we have ever experienced. Captain Arnold, you helped make our special day even more memorable. Thank you for your warm and meaningful words and your calm, organized manner. We will never forget what you gave us on our wedding day.
Best wishes,
Rich and Vy
