    Dear Captain Arnold, …. We have received your package including the wedding certificate.  Thank you for the enclosed wedding photo of us.  Vanna’s parents came over for Christmas dinner and we watched the video of the wedding ceremony.

    Married at the Princess Chateau (Lodi, New Jersey)

    Dear Captain Arnold:

    We wanted to thank you for all that you did for us. We received the copy of the vows and the copy of the marriage certificate from you when we got back from our honeymoon. The vows are really beautiful and really touched our hearts. We’re very happy that you sent us a nice copy of the vows. We already put it in a frame. Also, thanks for always being there for us. I am especially grateful because there were times I definitely needed to speak with someone about some issues and when no one else was there, you were. We could never have done it without you and certainly we see how very important the ceremony is, more so than the reception. Many of our guests at the reception later on had told us what a beautiful and smooth ceremony it was and that it also touched their hearts as well.

    Keep in touch.
    Love,
    Karen and Rich

    Married at Lombardi’s on the Sound Port at the Port Jefferson Country Club (Port Jefferson, New York)

    Hi Captain Arnold,
    Well, we are back from our honeymoon and getting on with regular life. I wanted to send you a note to thank you for a wonderful ceremony just as you had promised.
    As I had told you before, this was both Robert’s and my 2nd wedding and I wanted to be sure that it wasn’t going to be like a typical 1st wedding ceremony, there wasn’t going to be the traditional wedding march played and quite honestly I just wanted it to be unique to our situation. You assured me that it would be and you didn’t disappoint me at all. I was so happy with your very heart felt words and my friends and family haven’t stopped saying what a wonderful and special ceremony it was. When making my wedding plans, I was constantly told by so many of the different people I needed to hire that their part of the wedding was the most important. The DJ said he was, the photographer said he was and I even think the florist said they were….. I knew better because quite honestly I had been there and done that!!!! I knew that the true most important part was the ceremony itself, the moment when I would become the wife of the man I truly loved and the memory of that special time will be with me forever. Not the photographers talented way of posing me and my family, not the great music that played, but the strong deep felt inspirational way that I became married to my soul mate and best friend in life. I have you to thank for just that. I will remember that time for the rest of my life. I am so happy to have that memory with me forever. You are a special person with a special purpose in life and I am so happy that I found you because it just wouldn’t have been the same without you!

    Thank you so very much for everything!

    Married at Il Fagiano Ristorante (Whitestone, NY)

    Dear Captain,
    This is written for you especially, as well as anyone who cares to read about your services, and the extreme pride and care you take in rendering them to your very grateful couples.  Many people choose to go on-line and somehow hope to meet, through the chancy designs of a dating service, their “soul-mate”.  Well, we were extremely lucky to have met each other, my wife and me, through spontaneous, natural occurrences.  We did, however, go on-line and search for an officiant.  What were we looking for exactly?  And where would we find it?  Who and what would our officiant be like, and what would we have to do to procure him or her?  These were among the many varied questions we had dancing through our worried brains.  The search started out looking not too promising.  Some were unavailable on our date, while others asked us a million personal or religious-type questions.  Others still wanted us to participate in a pre-cana experience!  We already both did all that the first time around, you know, with the “test run marriage.”  We simply wanted a loving, beautiful and spiritual ceremony, without too much “fluff,” unnecessary emphasis on our personal faiths and beliefs, or sleep-inducing rhetoric inflicted on our hungry and anxious guests, all of whom were very impressed with you, and moved by the ceremony, incidentally.  You were unbelievably accommodating, and perfect in every way we imagined, hoped or specified to you.  The intense feelings you shared with us, proudly, of our love for each other, and for our happiness, were clearly evident.  You took time, beyond what was called for, to learn about our uniqueness, our backgrounds and what we were striving to convey to each other and to our guests on our very special day.  You scored victory and success on all fronts.  We couldn’t be prouder or more satisfied with whom we chose (although you really made the decision a no-brainer) to perform our ceremony, and we thank you from the bottoms of our very full hearts!  You are a caring, gifted man who takes great pride in and pays strict attention to detail in what you do.  You also seem to joyously derive almost as much pleasure in the love and satisfaction your couples feel for each other as we do ourselves!  What more could anyone ask for from their wedding officiant?  Thank you so much Captain!
    Mr. and Mrs. Peter and Janine Ingargiola

    Dear Captain Arnold,

    Our wedding day was truly a magical experience and most of that we owe to you. The ceremony was poetic and incredibly touching. In addition to your moving words of wisdom I was greatly appreciative of how you helped ease my husband’s anxiety. You also were such a tremendous help in getting us organized in the days leading up to our big day. Your professionalism and friendly disposition far exceeded my expectations. Next to finding Tommy, I feel so fortunate to have found you to commemorate our love for one another.

    With sincere gratitude,
    Mrs. Danielle Bello and Mr. Thomas Polanish

     

    Michael Adrian Paul & Sarah Jane Bridewell

    FROM: Devizes, Wiltshire, UK
    WEDDING DATE -
    WEDDING LOCATION:

    Renewed their vows after 10 years (At the “Pond” in Beautiful Central Park, NYC)

    Luncheon at the Plaza

    (Note: *Sarah never knew that her husband Mike was planning to bring her to New York, let alone arrange to renew their vows in Central Park. When he introduced her to me in the Sheraton Hotel where they were staying, it was a total surprise to her! And at the last moment he even had her go out and purchase a gown for the occasion. Whew! Now that’s what I call a surprise!)

    It was a fantastic holiday with some great memories that we will never forget. Each time *Sarah or I tell a friend what we did, we just receive gasps at the romantic nature of the events I planned. Our friends and family were fascinated by the blessing that you carried out. It was a pleasure for both Sarah and I to have met you and spend several hours in your company. Although it was just the two of us there, with you performing the blessing it was like having an old friend with us. We hope that you also have fond memories of the occasion and we both wish you well with your future book. I will email Donna from GettingMarried.Com and let her know what an excellent job you did for us. We have been to your website and really enjoyed seeing ourselves on there.”
    Thank you again from both of us. Take care and till next time.
    Mike and Sarah

    This couple lost their wedding rings just before the ceremony so we had to improvise.” Lady luck was with them as they found the rings several days later.

    Kerry and I want to let you know that you made our ceremony very special and your words touched everybody there. My father was very moved and Kerry and I were very pleased and we like to thank you for making our day so great.
