Dear Captain Arnold,

We feel honored to have had you perform our wedding ceremony.  You truly touched not only our lives,  but our guest as well.  They still speak on how you made them laugh,  and some cried.  They really speak highly of you until this day. One of our friends said.  If she was to get married.  She wants  you to perform the ceremony.  Another one felt you were so personable like you knew everyone. You made Larkie and I feel very relaxed.  I don't know what I would have done without you. Our ceremony was full of joy, laughter, and most of all love.  It was gorgeous.  The perfect wedding.  Thanks to you.  Were happy you came into our lives.  To make our day wonderful! We loved your unusual and unique wedding performance.  We commend you immensely.

Fondly,
Larky & Tammy

The Blessing

Dear Captain Arnold,

After finally arriving home from our 6 week long holiday/honeymoon we were welcomed with a letter from you and the most beautiful vows that we spoke on our wedding day on the other side of the world, which now seems so long ago, but we just had to write and express our thanks.

From the moment of our first contact only days before our ceremony in New York City you put our mind at ease that our wedding in a far-away land would be special.   Your personal touch and vows made it a memory of a lifetime.   We could not believe that our wedding could be so moving and special when we were so far away from home and no loved ones close by.   You made our wedding exactly what we wanted, a moment just for us filled with love and emotion.

Thank you very much for making it so personal, special and so moving.   It is your words that certainly made our wedding what it was.   We will cherish the memory forever.   We also need to thank you for doing what you did along with the others involved in our wedding during a unique event in New York - a train strike.   We greatly appreciated that all those involved did whatever they could, to not only make sure our wedding was a great event, but that it even took place.

Thank you again and if you ever venture Down Under we hope that you will pay us a visit.

Thanks again

Dear Captain Arnold,

You have been so wonderful to us throughout the planning of our wedding and we were so honored to have you perform our wedding ceremony.   It was so beautiful and we can't imagine it any other way.   We will always remember your beautiful words and sentiment, and how you made our families feel so much a part of the ceremony. Thank you for making our wedding day so special.

Fondly,
