Diane Augustus
Ordained Minister in Naples, Florida
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister online through Universal Life Church to perform a marriage ceremony for my Godson, Vincent. I chose ULC because I believe in their philosophy.
Where are you from?
I am originally from a small cow town called Ellington, Connecticut. I spent 54 wonderful years there growing up and then raising my two daughters there. In 2020, I relocated to sunny Naples, Florida but make plenty of trips back to CT to see family and friends.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
In addition to performing my Godson's wedding in August of 2025, I am hoping to get the opportunity to perform other weddings and services which require a minister. A celebration of love is truly special and it doesn't matter to me what that looks like. We all deserve to find the happiness that comes with a soulmate and I would love the opportunity to help make your day a special one!
Religious Affiliations
Christianity, Universal Life Church
Additional Information
I am a very spiritual person and lifelong Episcopalian who firmly believes in God and all His goodness. With that being said, however, I am completely willing to perform a secular service to accommodate whatever the couple desires. I am open to learning about other religions and I believe a couple's wedding ceremony should be what they wish it to be whether that be traditional, modern, or a blend of the two.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Naples, FL wedding officiant?
I will take the time to get to know the couple whom I will be marrying and try to make their wedding ceremony as special and memorable as it should be.
Types of Service Offered
Marriages, Same-Sex Marriages, Renewal of Vows, House Blessings
Additional Information
There is nothing more special than love and I absolutely enjoy celebrating that. I am new to this and would like to offer my services at no-charge for the first couple who hires me. It's a big old world out there and although I am not familiar with all the various religions, it doesn't matter to me what someone practices and I am open to learning and celebrating together.
