Captain Arnold (Chaplain)

Captain Arnold preformed my wedding on 09/19/09. He arrived early and helped guide my fiance through exactly how to ceremony would go based on the ceremonies that we wanted him to preform. We had a rose ceremony for our mothers, a sand ceremony and a wine ceremony. This helped calm down the groom-to-be's nervousness. He injected a little humor in to the ceremony to keep everyone's interest and said some lovely words on the meaning or marriage. As our friends our from many different faiths, Captain Arnold respected our wish for a non-denominational service allowing a moment for everyone to pray for our marriage as they wished.

Our wedding ceremony was filled with warmth, love and heart thanks to Captain Arnold. Everyone there couldn't stop telling us how special and unique it was, people were in tears from laughing and feeling the emotions of the ceremony. It was truly amazing and we feel so lucky that we chose Captain Arnold to marry us, he is wonderful.

Captain Arnold really got to know us, and why we were getting married. We never felt like a number or just another client. He and I had several long phone conversations, he really wanted to know who we were. The ceremony was beautiful, poolside in our backyard. It really felt like each word spoken was picked specialy for us. There wasn't anything that made it feel impersonal or routine. He either had our friends and family laughing or crying happy tears, everyone felt involved in the ceremony as oposed to just watching. I can't say enough wonderful things about Captain Arnold. He turned my best friend into my husband, I'll always be thankful for that. As long as I live, everytime I look at my husband's wedding ring, I'll always laugh about how he joked it was so big it looked like a bagel. You can't go wrong with Captain Arnold, I can't say enough good things about him.

Captain Arnold was absolutely phenomenal!! He did such a wonderful job and so many of our guests commented on what a great job he did. He made the ceremony personal and entertaining. I highly recommend him!

We cannot thank Captain Arnold enough for his outstanding service. He incorporated our selections of religious readings into his tailored ceremony. Our guests continue to rave about his sense of humor and unique speech, even inquiring for his contact information to renew their vows or perform their marraige . The sand ceremony was a perfect substitute for a candle lighting during our outdoor ceremony and the rose ceremony was a perfect way to honor our mothers on our special day. Michael and Jamie Hoehlein
