Happy New Year, Captain Arnold!
 
Thank you for the note and as I am sure you will understand in this busy holiday season, we've been remiss in thanking you.

Your touching ceremony and thoughtful words and sentiments are often mentioned by both of our families as unlike any other wedding.  We would like to, in fact, we need to thank you for adding immeasurably to our very special day.  With all the decisions that had to be made, all the planning that needed to take place, we can easily say that choosing you to perform our ceremony was the easiest and most rewarding.  Your attention to every detail and suggestion to include our families in the ceremony made for an even more memorable day.  The lighting of the Unity candle tapers by our mothers and including Trevor in the exchanging of rings as a sign of our commitment to him as parents touched our hearts.

The ceremony itself, with words that so accurately expressed our feelings for each other, was what made that day our day.  All lifelong commitments should start with such deeply moving feelings.  Your thoughts of our future and what lay ahead continue to inspire us each time we reminisce.  Please know that we appreciate you and thank you.

Take care and best wishes,
Leigh Ann and Henry Hodo


Hi Captain Arnold,

Yes, we did receive the copy of the marriage license, the vows, and the picture.  It was the first wedding picture that we had.  I did want to also thank you for the beautiful way that you had printed out our wedding vows.  I have a frame all ready to put it in.  What else can I say, I was definitely overwhelmed by all of your words as you could probably tell with all the tears of joy in my eyes. 

I also wanted to thank you for not getting upset when the ceremony did not start on time. 

Everything was perfect from you, it truly will be a day I will never forget.

Thank you again and take care!
Leigh Ann Hodor

Bethpage, New York

Married on the Yacht Nautical Princess
(Freeport, New York)

Dear Captain Arnold, Happy New Year!
Since our wedding on December 11, 2004, the honeymoon, Christmas, New Year's and then finally trying to get back into the swing of things - this is the first down time I've had to collect my thoughts. First and foremost, I want to thank you for not only the most memorable ceremony anyone could have asked for, but also the support you had given to us leading up to that moment. I don't think things would have went as smoothly as they did if it wasn't for the guidance you gave. Getting married is a nervous time for everyone and when I was at my breaking point I just picked up the phone like you said, called you and you calmed me down. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything you have done for us.
Sincerely,
Chris & Kim Mercurio

...Just a little bit of humor by the Captain

...brings on a lot of smiles & laughter!

... It was wonderful to feel your great interest, by telephone and email messages, all in aim to prepare for our special day. It made us think that the decision to contract you for our marriage was perfect.

To know you personally was fantastic. All the guests expressed their joy and because of this, we decided to write to you of our experience.

To have chosen you was a brilliant idea, our dream became a reality when we traveled on the love boat...

Thank you with all heart.

God bless you,

Carlos and Gabriela Highbridge

Charles & Helen Green

Married at the private residence of
the brides nephew.
(Nassau Point, Cutchogue, New York)

Dear Capt. Arnold:

Thank you for sending us a copy of our wedding vows, marriage license and photo. Thank you for all you did for us.   You always corresponded back to us when we had questions. You made the planning stress free.

Thank you for coming all the way out to Nassau Point to marry us.   We could not think of a more perfect place for us to get married.   Every New Year's Day our family gets together in Nassau Point to start the New Year off being together.   I knew we made the right decision to also start our married life off on that same day with our loved ones surrounding us.

The weather could not have been more perfect.   The ceremony was very emotional, touching and brought everyone to tears of joy.   To be able to marry the one you love surrounded by the people who are most important in your life is a gift that we both cherish.

Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful you were, how beautiful the ceremony was and how magnificent the words were spoken.   Thank you for interjecting humor as well.

Our family was most interested and fascinated with those brilliant magic tricks you entertained them with.  The children loved the little animals you made from beads.   Everyone was very impressed.

Again we thank you for making January 1, 2005 our special day.   It was an honor to have you perform our marriage ceremony.   May this year be filled with joy, happiness and health for you and your family.

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                        Charles and Helen Green
