Captain Arnold,
Nicole and I wanted to take the time to send you a message of thanks appreciation for the wedding service. Your service not only made the day extra special for us and our guests, but has each day since then as we discuss it together ourselves and with friends and family.
We are honored that you performed our wedding ceremony and deeply appreciate your kind, honest, and thought-provoking message. You also injected a little humor in there which helped ease some nerves and also helped remind us to have some fun, too. We know you receive a lot of positive feedback from other ceremonies you have performed and didn’t want our message of thanks to simply read like a repeat of what everyone else has already said. However, given the overwhelming response from everyone who attended our wedding, we can’t help but reiterate what has already been said: your wedding ceremonies are the best anyone has ever witnessed. Your rose ceremony was very special for our mothers. We deeply appreciated your kind words for them as they weren’t expecting to be recognized and you brilliantly drew us all closer together.
Imagine our own joy when, after the ceremony was completed, we turned round and faced the cheers of our family and friends only to see everyone beaming from ear to ear and not a single dry eye on the boat. It was a special moment and one we will never forget.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you,
Nicole and Daniel

Dear Captain Arnold,
We would like to thank you for performing such a beautiful and inspiring wedding ceremony on our special day. From the moment we met you and throughout the short time we were together, you were a professional and very instrumental in helping us to resolve several issues on that day and with the Miami office.
My friends and family enjoyed your ceremony immensely and are still raving about your sense of humor and how you touched their lives. Our day would not have been complete without your efforts and those of Mrs. Allison Schoonhen.
Again, on behalf of the newly married “Lecators”, it was an honor to meet you and thank you for making our wedding a day that will be always be cherished.
Sincerely,
Richard & Cynthia Lecator

Captain Arnold,
Thank you so much. I wanted to write to tell you how much we loved the ceremony. I don’t think there was a single guest who didn’t say how much they enjoyed it. It was beautiful & we will remember it always. It literally brought tears to our eyes.
Thank you again,

Dear Captain Arnold,
We wanted to thank you again for performing such a wonderful ceremony. Thank you for remembering those who could not be with us, but also making us laugh. It was the perfect mix of sentiment and levity. As you may remember, my wedding day was very rushed and stressful until the ceremony. After your ceremony, all the chaos leading up to the wedding was forgotten.
Thanks again for making our day so special!
Sincerely,
Margaret and Kevin Albert

Captain Arnold,
Thank you so much for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives. Your ceremony was absolutely pefect-not only tying our love together-but including our loved ones that were unable to share in our moment together. Our wedding truly was a fairy tale, and you played an essential role in creating its story. Thank you so much!
Love,
Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Mc Cullough

Hello Captain Arnold,
Muhammad and I wanted to say thank you for making our wedding ceremony one we will never forget. My friends and family were impressed with how you injected humor into the ceremony. You certainly made us feel relaxed and at ease. We feel grateful having had you perform our wedding ceremony. Also, thank you for the copy of our vows. Muhammad and I can always be reminded of our promises to each other.
Respectfully,
Jill and Muhammad Rahim.
Married at the “Ladies Pavilion” (Central Park, New York)
Dear Captain Arnold,
We were very happy to receive our marriage certificate and vows yesterday in the mail. We had a fantastic time in New York for the wedding and were so lucky with the weather in the end. We would like to thank you so much for our amazing ceremony. Organizing everything via email from Switzerland was a little nerve wracking but on the day you had organized everything so perfectly and, as you told me, took all the stress out of the day! The Ladies Pavilion was such a great location for the ceremony and luckily as you had sorted out the permit we were able to kick those people out who were having their picnic! Although they took it very well :o) I think the ceremony was far more than we ever imagined, the words were very heartfelt and you spoke from your experience of 53 years of marriage, and also injected a bit of humour which was great. The vows were really perfect and encompassed everything we wanted to say to each other so we will really cherish them. All of our guests loved the ceremony and one couple in particular fell in love with New York so maybe we can persuade them to follow in our footsteps…you can be sure they will be in contact with you if they do!
Many thanks again from a happily married couple

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening Captain,
Whatever time of the day it is we hope it’s all good for you, because your are the best and we sincerely thank you for our amazing wedding ceremony, we knew NCL (Norwegian Cruise Lines) provided a wedding Officiant with our purchased wedding package but we had no idea who that would be, we even decided to have someone personal, but no one we knew was available for a Sunday wedding so prayed on it and left it in God’s hands,
A complete stranger to us before this day instantly became like family to us, what a humble individual you are, we thank God for answering our prayers, for you and your wonderful services.
The confidence you showed when we first met made us feel completely comfortable and confident with you, your words were so strong and meaningful, and our vows so personal and sentimental made it all beautiful, our family and friends were very impressed as they congratulated us on the order and beauty of our unique wedding.
When we finally decided to get married after 13 years, we agreed on a simple ceremony and then came along captain Arnold (LOL) you helped to make our special day feel as if we had planned a big wedding and it really felt big without all of the excess we really didn’t want, there’s not enough words to express our gratitude to you, but just know that we adore you, we thank you for sharing our special day and we highly recommend you.
With our sincere love and appreciation,
(Amanda & Jerry)

Hello Captain,
I just wanted to let you know that we did receive the package you sent, and I can’t tell you how happy I was that you included the vows we spoke, being that we didn’t have a video to play back, the one thing I did want to have were the words that you spoke that made my big guy cry! I have only seen tears like that one other time in our ten years together, and they were nowhere near the strength that your words evoked. I thank you! I also will include a full letter that you can post to your site within the week.
Thank you so much again, and I will always be thankful for you. More than you will ever know!
Love – Angela

Hello Captain Arnold,
I wanted to send you this letter of gratitude for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us and our family on the Skyline Princess. I don’t even know if I could find the appropriate words for how you made all of us feel that day. Your words and humor touched not only John and I, but also our sons and daughter-in-laws, who were all married just recently themselves. When I saw their hands reach for each other, and tears flow from my husband’s eyes, for the 1st time ever, I couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming feeling of love in the room, and could not contain the tears myself, either . From the moment we saw the Trumpeter Swan upon entering the ship, to the personalized details you gave in not only the ceremony words, but the dedication to those who could not be present, to one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and the cake you had made for us in our colors. You surprised us tremendously with your magic at our table, and the making of the pearl poodles for all the ladies was one of my favorite parts. You made our night truly special! I can’t believe how much you touched all of us at that ceremony that night, especially John, who I have never seen tears from before. Your words had a huge impact on him, and he will never forget you. I, personally, will always be thankful to you for all you have given us through wisdom, and words of love. You truly are a unique man, and I thank you a million times over!! May God Bless you and all you do in the name of love, and may your wife also know how very lucky she is to have a man such as you are! Many Blessings to you and your family!
Love,
Angela and John (Ben,Kristen / Justin, Kristine)
