North American Gunslinger Detective

After the wedding ceremony, Father White handed Jimmy and Nia a wedding ceremony certificate. They also need to take this certificate to the city hall to exchange for an official marriage certificate. This process is quite troublesome.

In fact, there is another step before the wedding ceremony, which is to go to the city government in advance to get a marriage license. This license only allows both parties to get married, and is not a real wedding photo. Within the validity period of the license, you can get it after the wedding ceremony. With the marriage ceremony certificate provided by the church or other institution, it will be returned to the government department for registration, and then a formal marriage certificate will be issued.

Different states have different legal regulations on marriage. For example, there is a fast track to marriage in Las Vegas. After registration, you can get a marriage certificate. It can only be said that the marriage process in most states is relatively clear and cumbersome. , it is basically impossible to expect to get a certificate on the day of a flash wedding, except for those who are particularly connected.

After the ceremony, Father White returned to the lounge behind the church. Jimmy and Nia chatted for a while with the relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony. Everyone then headed to Manhattan according to the previously communicated arrangements. There was also a hotel room in the hotel they had booked. A banquet was held, but the scheduled wedding ceremony-related content was cancelled.

Kevin had contacted the hotel before, but they didn't cause any trouble. Faced with the deputy director of the NYPD, the hotel manager was not a fool. Only when he was out of his mind would he get entangled with Kevin about these ritual activities and the corresponding expenses.

There were a lot of people coming this time, but the church was not a good place to chat, so Jimmy and Nia simply said hello to everyone. If they wanted to have a good chat, they would definitely go to the hotel. In addition, most of these people's accommodations were arranged by themselves. Yes, everyone’s routes are different, so they dispersed after the ferry arrived.

Arriving at the prepared room in the hotel, Nia, with the cooperation of the bridesmaid and makeup artist, changed out of the white dress she wore for the wedding. After resting for a while, she put on another white dress for the dinner and left the lounge, arriving at the banquet. hall.

Jimmy and the groomsmen just rested for a while and then came to the banquet hall early. Those who arrived early had already gathered in twos and threes and chatted with champagne. Of course, Jimmy continued to interact with everyone. Fortunately, he was in good spirits. Although some people just It was the first time I met them. I had mostly said hello and knew their names when we were in the church. Now it is not easy to call them by their names when chatting with them.

Woody and Mark are a little more troublesome. They can't remember many people, but they still have a few acquaintances in the FBI, so they won't be indifferent if they just talk to someone.

James and Mary were also in the church before, but after communicating with Kevin, they just sat on the bench as ordinary relatives and friends, and did not stand next to Jimmy as Jimmy's family elders.

During the previous engagement ceremony, James attended as an elder. Obviously from James's perspective, his relationship with Jimmy was like a relative but not really a relative. It was a bit uncomfortable to stand next to Jimmy during the wedding ceremony in the church. suitable.

Jimmy did not insist anymore, because with his current identity, there was someone more suitable to stand next to him, that is Mrs. Waltz who came during the previous engagement ceremony. However, due to physical reasons, Mrs. Waltz did not come this time. I just called Jimmy last night and let Jimmy get Mrs. Waltz's phone number.

As for Tom, he is standing next to James, chatting with James and Mary. It can be seen that he has a lot of smiles on his face, and he must be in a good mood.

The only ones left in Little Rock are Caag, Noah and Justin. The three of them are all old acquaintances. Justin's bar is next to the county police headquarters. They must have gone there to drink frequently, so there are so many unknown people there. Among people, only the three of them can stand together and chat.

Jimmy and Nia held their arms and held champagne, walking around in the crowd, trying to avoid staying in front of one person for a long time, because they needed to get to know most of the people and chat with them, which was really a test for them. brain.

However, the main chat partners of Jimmy and Nia are the people invited by Kevin and the others. Among them are many city officials and affairs officers, as well as some managers in the NYPD. These are all connections between Kevin and Jimmy. Even though I’m not familiar with them, it’s still appropriate to say hello.

Nia followed Jimmy, and Jimmy also introduced her to the people he invited and how these people helped her. In short, the two of them basically never stopped.

Among the people present, the person who surprised Jimmy the most was actually Hughes. He had already joined the Association of Former FBI Agents. Because the association has a relatively large coverage area, Hughes had actually left New York for a while. Jimmy called him before. At the time of the call, he wasn't sure whether he would have time to come back. After all, there were a lot of things going on in the association, and as the new management, he also needed to go to other places.

It was not the first time that Hughes and Nia met. After a brief chat, he patted Jimmy on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, kid. I have prepared a gift for you. It should be ready when you come back from your honeymoon." ”

Jimmy asked in confusion: "What?"

Hughes: "The Former Agents Association holds several reviews every year and awards several awards to active agents. I am handling this matter. You just have to wait and see."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh, this is really a surprise. I didn't expect you just got there..."

Hughes: "Okay, remember to keep it a secret."

After saying that, Hughes smiled and greeted the people next to him. Jimmy turned to look at Nia, and the two of them continued to greet the others. Hughes's affairs were put on hold for the time being. Anyway, he had to wait until he came back from vacation. It's still early.

Soon, all the people who attended the church wedding entered the banquet hall one after another. Several people who did not attend the church wedding ceremony also arrived on time. Jimmy and Nia also came to the stage to thank all the guests who came.

"On this special day, I want to say thank you to every guest here. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to attend our wedding and witness this beautiful moment with us. Thank you for your most sincere blessings. and care. At the same time, I would also like to thank our families. It is your support and encouragement that has allowed us to get to where we are today. Thank you!"

Jimmy and Nia raised their glasses, everyone raised their glasses in response, and the dinner began.

After the dinner, there was a dance period. Many guests interacted with each other amidst slow and melodious music, and the atmosphere was very good.

The dance lasted quite a long time. After Jimmy and Nia finished leading the dance, they also took the opportunity to introduce Kevin and James, who were unfamiliar with each other. After all, they were now considered relevant people, and they wanted to introduce all the dozens of people present. It's not that simple to understand.

At the end of the dance, Jimmy and Nia said goodbye to the guests one by one, thanking them for coming, until everyone left.

Weddings are really tiring. In addition to all the hassles of the process, the key is that quite a few of the people present are doing business for the first time. For someone like Jimmy who is not good at dealing with strangers, what he said tonight has already turned him off. Half the month's conversation quota has been exhausted.Looking at the empty banquet hall, Jimmy and Nia looked at each other and smiled. Jimmy pulled Nia's hand fiercely, and the two hugged each other, standing quietly in the banquet hall, enjoying a moment of peace. .

"Let's go back." Jimmy let go of Nia, and the two continued to arm-in-arm back to the lounge. There were not many things that needed to be sorted here, but there was no need to deal with it now. Jimmy contacted the hotel front desk using the landline phone, and the hotel arranged a car. Dropped them off at Jimmy's apartment.

"Wow!" Jimmy opened the door. It was the first time for Nia to see the apartment after it was renovated. The apartment was now very different from before.

The furniture was selected by Nia and Jimmy, but they could only imagine how it would look like when placed in the room, not knowing what it would actually look like.

The original wood color is the focus of this renovation, including tables, chairs, coffee tables and TV cabinets. They basically maintain the original wood texture and do not use various paints. They replaced the floor because Jimmy shot a man to death. Maintained the same style.

Jimmy and Nia selected the furniture on the recommendation of the designer, and the subsequent placement and adjustment were completed by the home decoration designer. It can be seen that the designer also carefully adjusted the position of the furniture to make the overall living room more beautiful. coordination.

"I feel like I'm back in the wooden house when we last went to Alaska." Nia touched the furniture around her. Although the wood grain was retained, there was still a layer of protective paint on the surface. It felt good and the look and feel was very harmonious. .

"Well, I also thought about it when I saw it a few days ago. Should we change the itinerary a little and go to Alaska halfway through? Or maybe just go a little further and go to the Arctic Circle?"

Jimmy said while unbuttoning his tie and buttons. After wearing a suit for most of the day, he was still too restrictive. Now it was time to relax.Hanging the suit on the back of the chair, Jimmy turned to look at Nia, who was still wearing a dress, and suddenly didn't want to continue talking.

"Forget it, let's talk about the schedule tomorrow. Now, I want to..."

Jimmy picked up Nia and walked to the bedroom amidst her startled laughter. The brand new bed naturally required a new couple to experience it together.

Jimmy and Nia's honeymoon trip didn't take place immediately, but they had to deal with various complicated chores, so they stayed in New York for three more days, and then flew to Hawaii.

This is Nia's choice. For Jimmy, he doesn't have any specific honeymoon destination, so as long as Nia is happy, that's fine.Of course, they can't stay in Hawaii for two or three weeks. After a week, they will fly to Europe, Courchevel in the Alps, for skiing and sightseeing.

The plans have been confirmed repeatedly before, so Jimmy and the others have booked their air tickets and holiday cabins in advance. Now they only need to go to the destination according to the previously scheduled time.

The plane crossed the ocean and landed in Hawaii.

Taking a taxi to their seaside B&B, Jimmy and Nia put their luggage away, changed their clothes and went directly to the beach.In front of you is a blue sea and sky, the sun shines on the golden beach, the waves gently lap on the shore, and the coconut trees sway in the breeze.

Walking on the beach, feeling the warm sea water and soft sand, everything seems to have slowed down. The busy life before has completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only the joy of enjoying life.

During a week in Hawaii, Jimmy and Nia got away from everything in New York and completely let themselves go and had fun here. They surfed, scuba diving, canoeing, and enjoyed water sports. Under the guidance of the tour guide, they went Visit Kilauea volcano, stand on the edge of the crater, and witness the magnificent scene of lava flowing. These are scenes that you cannot see at all in tourist cities like New York or Miami.

Finally, they ended their trip to Hawaii and flew to Paris, France. They successfully arrived at Courchevel, a famous ski resort in the Alps. The cabin they booked was right by the lake and very close to the ski resort.

It's just that Jimmy and the others forgot one thing when they booked their vacation. Although Courchevel is open year-round, due to time constraints, the ski season is generally from December to April of the following year, and their wedding was in May. , when I came here after my vacation in Hawaii, it was almost June, and the ski season had just ended. Except for some of the snowfields on the top of the mountain, most of them had already begun to rest.

Jimmy and Nia were sitting on the balcony of the holiday cabin looking at the scenery in front of them. They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but fortunately, from the travel map provided by the village, you can still see many places to visit, including mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. , explore the mountains and natural scenery around Courchevel in a variety of ways, and traveling through valleys, forests and meadows together can be considered a unique trip, and it is not a complete failure.

Moreover, there are some activities here that are rare in other places, such as paragliding and skydiving. It is also quite good to experience the beauty of snow-capped mountains, grasslands and forests from the air.

After traveling for a while, Jimmy and Nia did not continue wandering around Europe. They bought some souvenirs and returned directly to the United States.

The reason why she didn’t travel around major cities like others was actually not because she didn’t have time or money, but according to Nia, if she wanted to go shopping in Paris or London, she would rather come with her classmates. Jimmy was very interested in clothing. Very poor taste in luxury goods.

They brought some souvenirs that were easy to carry with them, and purchased some wine to send to the courier company to send back to New York. The two of them finally returned, but the first stop was not New York, but Washington, DC.

Jimmy had promised Mrs. Waltz before that he would bring Nia to see her. The honeymoon was just over and he stopped by to see her and chat for a few words.

Because Jimmy called in advance to make an appointment, when they arrived, Mrs. Waltz's cabin was already very busy. Andrew from the DIA and Thomas from the CIA had arrived. Jimmy had asked Mrs. Waltz to bring them invitations for him, but Because of identity issues, they didn't show up at the wedding. Now that they were all nearby, they came over together.

Jimmy was okay. He had seen them before. Nia was very surprised, especially after learning their identities, but the atmosphere was still good. Although they were not related by blood, for these old people, they could see their friends' children. Growing up and getting married is a very happy thing.

After their visit here, Jimmy and Nia finally returned to their home, and their busy life was about to start again. (End of chapter)
