Married aboard the Motor Yacht “Cloud 9 III” (East 23rd Street Seaport Marina, NYC)
Dear Captain Arnold,
My husband and I got married by you on 12th June 2006 on Cloud Nine III Yacht and we wanted to send our heartfelt thanks to you for making our day so wonderous. Our first year of married life has been very hectic and so this thank you is quite belated, but I wanted to let you know that we never forgot what a special day you made it and we want to say thanks again. To cut a very, very, very long story short, both Dave and I were very ill at different times since our marriage and several close relatives have also been seriously ill and so our thank you’s took a back seat until now- we certainly tested the vows for better for worse and in sickness and in health!! We are all in good health now and I have finally found space to thank everyone who contributed to making the happiest day of Dave and my life so much more special. Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary – the photos look beautiful. My family and friends also said what a fantastic job you did and so a big thank you from them too. Dave and I are very happy together and marriage does make a difference – I feel like one with him now and we are more in love now than we have ever been. We are returning to NYC for our anniversary this year and we cannot wait.
Could you also thank Dwayne for us. Our computer broke down and I lost all email addresses and so I could not find his contact details. I would like to send a card or an email to thank him as he did a wonderful job and we have watched the video a million times. Please find attached another photo and I wish you all the best in the future. Thanks again
Best Wishes

Dear Captain Arnold,
It’s been over a month since our wedding and everyone is still talking about it – especially the ceremony. People told us it was the best ceremony that they ever heard at a wedding! You most definitely made our wedding a very memorable event. The dedication to our grandfathers, ceremony, and most importantly the vows were beautiful, touching, and they hold true to married life. The humor you interjected set a comfortable tone and a fun atmosphere for everyone. We wanted to thank you and let you know it was our pleasure to have you marry us. We appreciated your mannerism and professionalism throughout the whole process.

Married on the Yacht Cayah Michele Pier 59 at Chelsea Piers, West 23rd St. (New York City, NY)
Dear Captain Arnold,
Sorry it has taken this long to send you this note, but Jennifer and I wanted to thank you for conducting our wedding ceremony on the yacht Cayah Michele on May 7th and for making that aspect so memorable for us.
Your words struck the tone we wanted and perfectly balanced the overall flavor of the event we had organized. On that note, we appreciate how you went through everything with us running up to the event, for up to many months in advance, so we never had to be concerned about the ceremony as the most important aspect of the wedding.
We kept the fact that our nautical wedding was going to be conducted by a Captain as a surprise, and our family and other guests not only enjoyed it, but many commented on how nice the ceremony was. We recall the appropriate solemnity, mixed with plenty of laughter and smiles, and a few tears of joy. The wedding overall will leave us with unforgettable memories.
In fact, my mother enjoyed your words such that she asked if it were possible to get a transcript of what you said, if you have it, as she would like it to keep with photographs etc. I said that we had our vows, as Jen and I had written them with your help, but that I would ask you about the
other parts.
Married life is treating us well so far. We continue to be very happy together and look forward to a lifetime of enjoyment and more great memories side by side. We have attached one of the official photos from the day to this Email and hope all is well with you.
Sincere thanks once again.

Captain Arnold-
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for such a lovely wedding ceremony. Our wedding was such a success! I received more than a few compliments that they enjoyed the ceremony and the thoughtfulness you put into it. Todd and I both really appreciated it, and the fact that you traveled a little bit in inclement conditions to arrive ahead of schedule. His children also felt thrilled to be a part of the ceremony in such a meaningful way. I hope it brings them fond memories always, as I know it will for both Todd and me.
I have a few pictures to share, there are so many great ones that convey what a lovely evening we had.
Let me know if you’d like to see more pictures or if you intend to use them for marketing purposes.
Thank you again!
Best,
Beth and Todd

Dear Captain Arnold,
Thank you for making one of the most special days of “our” lives a memory to cherish forever…
Your warms words, brought a level of comfort and compassion to our fabulous day. What hit home for me, the most, was you taking the time to honor my loved ones who have passed, my Grandfather. The Rose ceremony was also a perfect touch for our Moms.
You left so quickly, I didn’t get a chance to tip you. I am putting it in the mail.
Thanks again

| Dear Captain Arnold, It seems that a simple thank you note is not nearly enough to express our gratitude. Our day began with many hiccups (the limos were late, there was traffic, the placecards got lost…), and your calming presence was a refreshing reminder of the reason we were there. As the ceremony began, we forgot all about the craziness of the past few hours, and settled in to what would be the best day of our lives (until the next day, of course). Our guests raved about your ceremony. Your message of love and devotion was sincere and appropriate for everybody there. The sand ceremony was particularly touching-my mother won’t stop talking about her “shivers of joy” at the vision of the sand intermingling, and your comments on our lives intermingling-she was moved. We were moved, in particular during the vows. It was almost as if we had written them ourselves. They were so personal, we felt as though we were the only couple you had ever married. In short, thank you for making our day so perfect. Most sincerely, |

Hello Capt. Arnold,
I thank you so much for the vows, as I was so nervous I was not able to appreciate them as they were being said. Many people commented that they enjoyed the vows and some commented that it was also nice they could hear them. Many times when you’re in a church you are unable to hear them. Thank you for everything, we are very happy.
