The Wedding of Jody Gomez Contreras & Kathy Lynne Falcon
Officiated by Barbara Kaye Watkins at Couples Home in Odessa, Texas on August 30th, 2025.
ABOUT THIS WEDDING
"The wedding was truly exquisite! It was a profound honor to officiate the ceremony for my best friend. Initially, I felt a bit nervous about potentially stumbling over my words; however, I managed quite well, especially as I tried to hold back tears. My best friend looked absolutely stunning, while her groom appeared elegantly handsome. As Kathy entered the room, all eyes were drawn to her. I captured a few photographs and played the music for the grand entrance. The couple stood face-to-face, poised to embark on their next chapter together. I conducted the ceremony seamlessly, which was an incredible experience. Everything felt perfect that day."

-Wedding Invocation-
Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends,
We gather here today in the spirit of love, joy, and unity to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments—the joining of two hearts in marriage.
Let us take a moment to pause, breathe, and be fully present. Whether you’ve traveled far or live close by, your presence here is a gift to this couple, a testament to the love and support that surrounds them.
Today, we witness the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of Jody Gomez Contreras and Kathy Lynne Falcon. As they stand before us, hand in hand, they bring with them all the laughter, lessons, and love that have shaped their journey so far. And now, they choose to walk forward together, bound not only by affection, but by commitment, trust, and shared dreams.
Let us invoke the spirit of love to be with us now. May it fill this space, touch every heart, and bless this union with grace, patience, and joy. May this marriage be a sanctuary of strength and tenderness, where each partner lifts the other and both grow together.
As we begin this ceremony, let us celebrate not only the love between Jody and Kathy, but the love that connects us all. May this day be a reminder of the beauty of connection, the power of devotion, and the magic of saying “yes” to a shared life.
