Dearest Captain Arnold,
Perfection….the only possible word we can think of to describe our wedding ceremony. From the moment we met you a few months ago, you have been so supportive and wonderful. You helped us make important decisions and assisted us with some fun surprises. During the ceremony your words were so gorgeous and romantic, and it is as if you have known us forever. When we spoke with you for the first time, we said we wanted our ceremony to be about love, and you made our visions come to life. Our guests complimented the ceremony over and over again, saying that this was the most beautiful and romantic ceremony they had ever seen. Thank you for everything, and thank you for playing such an important role in our very special fairy tale.
You are amazing!

Hi Captain Arnold,
Both Gnar and I absolutely concur with Renato.While I admit to not being the most sentimental of souls I have to say both Gnar and I will remember your beautiful words for our lifetime. Again at the risk of repeating myself we can’t thank you enough for making this moment even more special than it already was for us. Your eloquence and style of ceremony speak for itself and if you need a testimonial you got one. And yes I ‘m definitely a lucky man.
Both Gnar and I are finally but slowly back to post-marital ceremony mode and are getting our affairs in order. We received your package at our old address where my folks are currently staying and have informed us of its arrival. We’ll open it tonight. I’ve also sent you a letter as well so look for it in the next day or so.
Best,
Gnar and Damien

Hello Captain,
I just wanted to leave a note on your website but couldn’t find a place to post it there. So here you go. Feel free to paste it where ever you need. I found your ceremony very interesting and appropriate for the moment. I particularly liked the sand ritual. I realized that sacredness is something one have inside and can express in many ways such as your way, whereas people from many faiths can feel represented and understood, recollected with the bride and groom in one of the most important days of their lives. Congratulations Captain Arnold. Your style speaks by itself, and those who have experienced a wedding celebrated by you can feel only sorry about one thing: not have found you before they got married.
best,

Dear Captain Arnold,
We hope all is well. We just recently returned from our wedding and still getting fully settled into our new home.
However, we would be remiss if we did not take the time to say thank you for officiating our wedding. The ceremony you performed was beautiful and is one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Your combination of humor and meaningful words not only touched our hearts, but all those in attendance as well (we have received a lot of positive comments about it even from guests who did not fully understand english!). We truly hope that our paths will cross again in the future (perhaps one day when we renew our vows!) and look forward to recommending you to our friends and family when they too get married one day. Thank you again for making the ceremony one of the most memorable cornerstones of our wedding day!
With Sincerity and Gratitude,

Dear Capt. Arnold,
While we did send you an email thanking you, we would be remiss if we did not also send you a card. Your ceremony was one of the most magical moments of that day and laid a solid foundation with which our love can be built to reach beyond the boundless skies. Thank you again Capt. Arnold, and may our paths cross again!
Sincerely,

Captain Arnold,
Please accept our deepest appreciation for making our day very memorable. Our families still remark on how much you put into the ceremony. We recently viewed video from the ceremony and reception and are amazed at your attention to our day. Both Lea and I are extremely grateful for everything you did in making our ceremony one to remember. Oddly enough when I showed our wedding pictures to a co-worker, he had recognized you from an event he had attended recently at a location near a lighthouse. Makes me that much more the happier I found you on the web.
Again, we thank you for making this a special day for everyone.
God Bless you and your family.
Sincerely,

Hello Captain Arnold,
Thank you so much for officiating our wedding on the Norwegian Gem cruise ship. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the vows were and how beautiful the wedding was. You and your team, especially Tammy, were outstanding. It really helped that we were able to speak with you and Tammy prior to the wedding and Tammy actually made time to come to my rehearsal dinner. Then on the morning of the wedding, from the check in process to the end of the reception, everything went great. Ervin and I are so happy that we met you and that you were available to officiate our wedding. Thank you again.
With Love,
Ervin and Veronica Garrison
