Dear Captain Arnold,
We just looked at the calendar and realized it has been 3 weeks since you performed our wedding ceremony aboard The Skyline Princess in Flushing, NY. We are sorry it has taken us so long to write but our schedule has been as hectic after the wedding as it was before.
We wanted to thank you for all of your help prior to our wedding and more importantly we want to thank you for making our special day memorable and magical. My grandmother and John’s mother were truly touched to have our deceased relatives mentioned during our ceremony. John keeps asking me if you and I spoke prior to your choosing the vows, that’s how fitting your beautiful words were. My guests keep remarking on how wonderful everything turned out.
For me, there was something deeply touching about reciting vows that seemed tailor made for John & me while overlooking the water in our dockside ceremony. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding a dream come true. We were also surprised that you sent us a copy of our vows. It was the perfect compliment to a beautiful ceremony & reception. Thank you again! We hope to take another cruise aboard The Skyline Princess to celebrate our first year wedding anniversary.
With all our Love,
Cynthia & John Heid

Dear Captain Arnold,
It is the first day of our honeymoon, but we had to write to you to thank you for making our wedding perfect! You truly are the best!
Our guests left the ship at 3:15pm yesterday and by 3:30pm my cell phone was ringing and I was receiving text messages, all telling me how amazing your ceremony was! You and your team of wedding coordinators and photographer allowed us to enjoy our special day stress free.
Thank you again for everything you did and for the wonderful memories!

Hello Captain Arnold,
I am sorry it has taken so long to respond to you. Vy and I received your package. Thank you very much for the picture and a copy of the vows.
Vy and I were very happy with the ceremony. It was a bit nerve racking to arrive on your wedding day without ever having met the person who is about to perform the ceremony and only having the testimonials of people you don’t know as a reference. However, both my wife and I as well as most of our guests felt that this was one of the most beautiful and heart-felt ceremonies we have ever experienced. Captain Arnold, you helped make our special day even more memorable. Thank you for your warm and meaningful words and your calm, organized manner. We will never forget what you gave us on our wedding day.
Best wishes,
Rich and Vy

Dear Captain Arnold,
There aren’t enough ways to say thank you for making our wedding day something very special that we will always remember! You performed a beautiful ceremony for Eric and I on June 22, 2007 aboard Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas, and we will never forget a single moment of it thanks to you and your staff! We both followed your advice and left all of our thoughts and worries behind us and really LISTENED to your words as you presided over our ceremony, and I’m so very glad we did! Every sentence was beautiful, touching and profound. Many of our guests approached us after the ceremony and told us how moving it was!
I would also like to take a moment to compliment your coordinators and the great job they did in making sure every detail was handled efficiently and with great care. They were a joy to have been able to meet, and they really were the best of the best! I don’t know that anyone else could have done such a wonderful job!
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts!

“A Little Note From the Father of the Bride”
Dear Captain Arnold,
What can I say as the father of the bride. You were terrific doing the ceremony. We had it all! Thanks for bringing two traditions together. The setting on the Pier at the Hyatt Jersey City could not have been more appropriate for a nautical wedding. Thanks for making the ceremony the special service it was. Everyone was so attentive because they did not know what to expect. You’re the Best.
Sincerely,

Captain Arnold:
We want to thank you for making our wedding day especially memorable. The ceremony was wonderful – serious without being somber, and with just the right touches of humor. The words you spoke were perfect for the occasion and are excellent advice for anyone getting married. Our wedding day would have been special even if it were just the two of us – but you made it even more so. You added that touch of “magic.”
Thanks, Captain!
