    Married at the beautiful Strawberry fields in Central Park (New York City, NY)

    Dear Captain Arnold,

    Thank you for all of your assistance and for a wonderful ceremony! Lindy and I appreciate all of the help you gave us in selecting a spot, getting licenses, and finding a photographer on a day’s notice! Strawberry Fields was a fantastic location; a couple of out-of-towners like us could never have found that site on our own. Your instructions and friends at city hall made getting a license a breeze, and thank you for recommending Jorg Windau, the pictures are fantastic!

    We have placed the wonderful wedding vows you sent us in a frame in the living room. They, along with a couple of photos, will serve as a lifelong reminder of our fantastic wedding in Central Park and of our commitment and promises to one another.

    Thank you again for all of your assistance and for some amazing memories!

    Dear Captain Arnold,
    Thank you so very much for giving us, our family and our friends a touching ceremony. Not only did you incorporate the symbology of the Statue of Liberty and the meaning of the joining of two lives—you understood us perfectly. All of our guests said they were moved by the ceremony, that you said the perfect words for our relationship and they felt the romance of the day. In fact, a lot of people want to see a copy of our vows in order to remember those beautiful sentiments!
    Thank you again,

    Dear Captain Arnold,
    What can I say? Words are not enough to thank you for making our Fairy Tale wedding complete. Your ceremony was touched not only by Frank, Vincent and myself, but everyone who attended. You helped people remember there own vows and sparked a few older couples into remembering there own. Guests are sending us Thank you cards thanking us for inviting them to such a touching ceremony saying, they never have been to a ceremony that was so beautiful and filled with such emotion. Our vows to Vincent. Wow! Thank you for giving us the words that was in our hearts to say to our son that we would not have been able to do if not for you. I will be sending you a copy of the video (as soon as I get it). I want the world to see your heart filled child ceremony as well as the candle ceremony together with your added humor, all of which adds up to a Fairy tale Wedding.
    Thank you,

    Dear Captain Arnold,
    We are truly grateful for the memorable ceremony you performed for us.  We continue to hear how “perfect” the ceremony was for us.  We weren’t able to grasp the vows at the time as we were so nervous, but we are thankful for the video (we are still editing it for you).   The ceremony was a unique one for us as well as all our guests, the best one ever!!  They all cried including us!!  Mikey and Joshua were perfect gentlemen and were surprised by their Child’s ceremony vows we spoke to them.  We are touched you were able to perform our ceremony and will definitely refer you to all our friends and family. Thank you 🙂 <><

    Married at The Molly Pitcher Inn (Red Bank, New Jersey)

    Captain Arnold,

    A Special Thank You!!!    Ray and I did receive our Wedding Vows on such elegant Ivory paper. We seem to read the vows to each other often. Also, our marriage certificate was enclosed. Thank you for the picture of us together and your special wishes. We will treasure them always

    Captain Arnold, Your presence in your Captain’s Uniform and knowing you are an ordained Chaplain was so meaningful to us. The Heavens opened up on April 2nd with showers of Joy for Ray and I–ALSO, for all of our guests. They asked us–Where did you meet him? Ray–Is he a friend of yours? Jackie–Tell us how do you know him?–To Ray and Jackie–That was the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony we have ever heard.

    Again–Amidst all the showers of Joy–Jackie’s sister Carol said that she is going to find herself a husband and have you marry her. Ray and I wanted to include all of our guests from near and far. You made this all possible with the poetry and readings which were written and read by family. We could not imagine the fineness and elegance of it all

    Many Warm Wishes,

    Ray and Jackie

    From the Grooms Mom & Dad in Hawaii . . . .

    Dear Captain Arnold:
    Our trip to New York was a whirlwind, but the highlight was Sean and Leeza’s wedding. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your wonderful ceremony and for all your support. I know Sean and Leeza were glad when they decided to have a special ceremony performed by you, rather than go to City Hall, and this memory will forever stay in their hearts. Even though they will have a large wedding reception when they return to Hawaii this December, as you said, the wedding ceremony happens only once in their lives, and they were wise to make it special — and to wait for our arrival, so we could join them! Thanks again, for your friendship and support, and hope to see you again soon.
    Aloha,
    Lois & Dean

    Married at the private residence of the brides nephew. (Nassau Point, Cutchogue, New York)

    Dear Capt. Arnold:

    Thank you for sending us a copy of our wedding vows, marriage license and photo. Thank you for all you did for us.   You always corresponded back to us when we had questions. You made the planning stress free.

    Thank you for coming all the way out to Nassau Point to marry us.   We could not think of a more perfect place for us to get married.   Every New Year’s Day our family gets together in Nassau Point to start the New Year off being together.   I knew we made the right decision to also start our married life off on that same day with our loved ones surrounding us.

    The weather could not have been more perfect.   The ceremony was very emotional, touching and brought everyone to tears of joy.   To be able to marry the one you love surrounded by the people who are most important in your life is a gift that we both cherish.

    Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful you were, how beautiful the ceremony was and how magnificent the words were spoken.   Thank you for interjecting humor as well.

    Our family was most interested and fascinated with those brilliant magic tricks you entertained them with.  The children loved the little animals you made from beads.   Everyone was very impressed.

    Again we thank you for making January 1, 2005 our special day.   It was an honor to have you perform our marriage ceremony.   May this year be filled with joy, happiness and health for you and your family.

    Sincerely,

    Charles and Helen Green

    ...Just a little bit of humor by the Captain

    Dear Captain Arnold

    Wishing you and your family; happiness, peace and love in these special days of Christmas. But mainly, we appreciate the devote attention and the gentile manner you showed us from the first moment when you were contacted by Adelina.

    It was wonderful to feel your great interest, by telephone and email messages, all in aim to prepare for our special day. It made us think that the decision to contract you for our marriage was perfect.

    During the ceremony in front of you, and our guests, in truth it was very pleasant to listen to your advice, to share our togetherness and happy lives. I thank you very much to mention my parents and my family, who resides in Costa Rica and for this reason of the distance they could not accompany us.

    To know you personally was fantastic. All the guests expressed their joy and because of this, we decided to write to you of our experience.

    To have chosen you was a brilliant idea, our dream became a reality when we traveled on the love boat.

    Thank you with all heart.

    God bless you,

    CARLOS and GABRIELA HIGHBRIDGE

    Married on the Yacht Nautical Princess (Freeport, New York)

    Dear Captain Arnold, Happy New Year!
    Since our wedding on December 11, 2004, the honeymoon, Christmas, New Year’s and then finally trying to get back into the swing of things – this is the first down time I’ve had to collect my thoughts. First and foremost, I want to thank you for not only the most memorable ceremony anyone could have asked for, but also the support you had given to us leading up to that moment. I don’t think things would have went as smoothly as they did if it wasn’t for the guidance you gave. Getting married is a nervous time for everyone and when I was at my breaking point I just picked up the phone like you said, called you and you calmed me down. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything you have done for us.
    Sincerely,
    Chris & Kim Mercurio

    Married on the Yacht Lexington (Liberty Landing Marina, Jersey City, NJ)

    Happy New Year, Captain Arnold!

    Thank you for the note and as I am sure you will understand in this busy holiday season, we’ve been remiss in thanking you.

    Your touching ceremony and thoughtful words and sentiments are often mentioned by both of our families as unlike any other wedding.  We would like to, in fact, we need to thank you for adding immeasurably to our very special day.  With all the decisions that had to be made, all the planning that needed to take place, we can easily say that choosing you to perform our ceremony was the easiest and most rewarding.  Your attention to every detail and suggestion to include our families in the ceremony made for an even more memorable day.  The lighting of the Unity candle tapers by our mothers and including Trevor in the exchanging of rings as a sign of our commitment to him as parents touched our hearts.

    The ceremony itself, with words that so accurately expressed our feelings for each other, was what made that day our day.  All lifelong commitments should start with such deeply moving feelings.  Your thoughts of our future and what lay ahead continue to inspire us each time we reminisce.  Please know that we appreciate you and thank you.

    Take care and best wishes,
    Leigh Ann and Henry Hodo


    Hi Captain Arnold,

    Yes, we did receive the copy of the marriage license, the vows, and the picture.  It was the first wedding picture that we had.  I did want to also thank you for the beautiful way that you had printed out our wedding vows.  I have a frame all ready to put it in.  What else can I say, I was definitely overwhelmed by all of your words as you could probably tell with all the tears of joy in my eyes.

    I also wanted to thank you for not getting upset when the ceremony did not start on time.

    Everything was perfect from you, it truly will be a day I will never forget.

    Thank you again and take care!
    Leigh Ann Hodor
