650 honeymoon
At the end of the ceremony, Father White handed Jimmy and Nia a certificate of the wedding ceremony, and they also needed to go to the city hall with this certificate to exchange for an official marriage certificate, which was a troublesome process.
In fact, there is another step before the wedding ceremony, that is, you need to go to the city government in advance to obtain a marriage license, this permit only allows both parties to get married, not a real marriage license, within the validity period of the permit, after the marriage ceremony, take the marriage ceremony certificate provided by the church or other institutions back to the government department for registration, and then the official marriage certificate will be issued.
Different states have different laws and regulations on marriage, for example, there is a fast track to marriage in Las Vegas, and you can get a marriage certificate after registration, but it can only be said that the marriage process in most states is still relatively clear and cumbersome, and it is basically impossible to expect to get a certificate on the day of the flash wedding, except for those who are particularly related.
Father White returned to the lounge at the back of the church after the ceremony, and Jimmy and Nia chatted with the relatives and friends who had come to watch the ceremony, and everyone went to Manhattan according to the previous arrangement, and there was a banquet in the hotel they had booked, but the scheduled wedding ceremony was cancelled.
In the face of the deputy director of the NYPD, the hotel manager is not a fool, and he will be entangled with Kevin about these ceremonial activities and the corresponding fee-related issues when there is a problem with his brain.
There were a lot of people coming this time, but the church was not a good place to chat, so Jimmy and Nia just simply greeted everyone, and if they had a good chat, they would definitely go to the hotel, and most of these people's accommodation was arranged by themselves, and everyone's route was not the same, so they dispersed after the ferry landed.
Coming to the room prepared by the hotel, Nia changed out of the white dress worn by the wedding with the cooperation of the bridesmaids and makeup artist, and rested for a while before putting on another white dress for the dinner and leaving the lounge and coming to the banquet hall.
Jimmy and the groomsmen just rested for a while and then came to the banquet hall in advance, the people who arrived in advance had already gathered together in twos and threes to chat with champagne, Jimmy of course continued to deal with everyone, fortunately he was in good spirits, although some people were only meeting for the first time, most of them had said hello and knew the name when they were in the church before, and now they can call out their names when chatting with them, which is not easy.
Woody and Mark are a little more troublesome, and they can't remember how many people they have, but there are still a few acquaintances on the FBI's side, and they won't be cold when they talk to someone casually.
James and Mary were in the church before, but after communicating with Kevin, they only sat on the bench as ordinary relatives and friends, and did not stand next to Jimmy as elders in Jimmy's family.
During the previous engagement ceremony, James participated as an elder, obviously from James's point of view, his relationship with Jimmy was like a relative but not a real relative, and it was still a little inappropriate to stand next to Jimmy during the wedding ceremony in the church.
Jimmy didn't insist anymore, because his current identity was a more suitable person to stand next to him, that is, Mrs. Waltz who came over during the engagement ceremony before, but because of physical reasons, Mrs. Waltz didn't come over this time, but just called Jimmy last night, and Jimmy got Mrs. Waltz's phone by the way.
As for Tom, he was standing next to James right now, chatting with James and Mary, and he could see that he had a lot of smiles on his face, and he should be in a good mood.
The rest of Little Rock are Karg, Noah and Justin, the three of them are old acquaintances, Justin's bar is next to the county police headquarters, they must have gone there to drink, so among so many unknown people at the scene, the three of them can stand together and chat.
Jimmy and Nia walked around the crowd with champagne in their arms, trying to avoid staying in front of one person for a long time, because they needed to get to know most of them and talk to them, which was really a test of their brains.
However, Jimmy and Nia's main chat partners are the people Kevin and they invited, including many city officials and affairs officers, as well as some managers in the NYPD, these are Kevin's side of the relationship, although Jimmy is not familiar with them, but they should still say hello.
Nia followed Jimmy, and Jimmy had to introduce her to the people she had invited and how they had helped her, and the two of them didn't stop for a while.
Among the people present, Jimmy was most surprised by Hughes, he has joined the Association of Former FBI Secret Agents, because the association covers a large area, Hughes has actually been away from New York for a while, and when Jimmy called him before, he was not sure if he had time to come back, after all, there are many things in the association, and as the new management, he also needs to go around other places.
It wasn't the first time Hughes and Nia had seen each other, and after a brief chat, he patted Jimmy on the shoulder, "Well done, boy, I've got a gift for you, and it should be about the same when you come back from your honeymoon." ”
Jimmy asked, confused, "What?" ”
Hughes: "The Society of Ex-Secret Services has several reviews a year, and there are several awards for active duty agents, and I'm working on that. You just have to wait with peace of mind. ”
Jimmy raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Oh, this is really a surprise, I didn't expect you to just get there......"
Hughes: "Alright, remember to keep it a secret. ”
After saying that, Hughes smiled and greeted the person next to him, Jimmy turned his head to look at Nia, and the two continued to greet the others, Hughes's side of the matter was put on hold for the time being, anyway, it was still early until he came back from vacation.
Soon, all the church wedding attendees entered the banquet hall, and several people who did not attend the church wedding ceremony also arrived on time, and Jimmy and Nia also came to the stage to thank all the guests who arrived.
"On this special day, I would like to say thank you to everyone here for coming from thousands of miles to attend our wedding, to witness this wonderful moment with us, and to thank you for your most sincere blessings and love. At the same time, I would like to thank our family for their support and encouragement that has made us where we are today. Thank you! ”
Jimmy and Nia raise their glasses, and everyone raises their glasses in response, and the dinner begins.
After the dinner, there was a dance time, and the atmosphere was very nice with many guests mingling with each other in the slow and melodious music.
The dance party was still relatively long, and after Jimmy and Nia led the dance, they also took the opportunity to introduce Kevin and James to people who were not familiar with each other, after all, they are now related people, and it is not so simple to get to know all the dozens of people present.
At the end of the ball, Jimmy and Nia say goodbye to the guests one by one, thanking them for coming, until everyone leaves.
The wedding is really tiring, in addition to all kinds of process troubles, the key is that a considerable number of the people present are dealing with it for the first time, for someone like Jimmy who is not good at dealing with strangers, what he said tonight has used up his half a month's conversation quota.
Looking at the empty banquet hall, Jimmy and Nia looked at each other and smiled, Jimmy pulled Nia's hand violently, 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 go back to the lounge holding arms, there were not many things that needed to be sorted out here, but there was no need to deal with it now, Jimmy contacted the hotel front desk on a landline, and the hotel arranged for a car to drop them off at Jimmy's apartment.
"Wow!" Jimmy opened the door, and for the first time since the renovation, Nia saw that the apartment was very different from what it used to be.
The furniture was all chosen by Nia and Jimmy, but they could only imagine what it would look like in the room, not what it would actually look like.
The original wood color is the focus of this renovation, including the tables, chairs, coffee tables and TV cabinets, which basically maintain the original wood texture, and do not use various paints to paint, and maintain the same style as the previous floor that Jimmy replaced because he killed a man.
Jimmy and Nia selected the furniture under the recommendation of the designer, and the subsequent placement and adjustment were completed by the home decoration designer, and it can be seen that the designer also carefully adjusted the position of the furniture to make the overall living room more coordinated.
"I feel like I'm back to the same cabin we had last been 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, which felt very good and the look was very harmonious.
"Well, when I saw it the other day, I also thought, should we change the itinerary a little bit and we go to Alaska again? Or just go a little further and go around the Arctic Circle? ”
Jimmy said as he unbuttoned his tie and buttons, and now was the time to relax, after wearing a suit for most of the day, it was still too restrictive. Hanging his suit on the back of his chair, Jimmy turned to look at Nia, who was still in her tuxedo and suddenly didn't want to continue talking.
"Forget it, I'll talk about the itinerary tomorrow, now, I want to ......"
Jimmy picked up Nia and walked to the bedroom with her laughter, the new bed naturally needs to be experienced by a couple.
Jimmy and Nya didn't make their honeymoon right away, but had to deal with all sorts of chores, so they spent three more days in New York and then flew to Hawaii.
This is Nia's choice, and for Jimmy, he doesn't have any specific honeymoon destination, so as long as Nia is happy. Of course, they can't stay in Hawaii for two or three weeks, and a week later they will fly to Europe, Courchevel in the Alps, skiing and sightseeing.
The plans had already been confirmed before, so Jimmy and the others had booked their tickets and cottages in advance, and now they only needed to get to their destination at the time they had booked.
The plane crossed the ocean and landed on Hawaiian soil.
Taking a taxi to their seaside home, Jimmy and Nia put their bags away, changed their clothes and headed straight to the beach. In front of you is a blue sea and blue sky, the sun shines on the golden sand, the waves gently lap on the shore, and the coconut trees sway in the breeze.
Walking on the beach, feeling the warm water and soft sand, everything seems to slow down, and the previous busy life is completely gone at this moment, leaving only the joy of enjoying life.
After a week in Hawaii, Jimmy and Nyoa got away from New York and let themselves go for a while, surfing, diving, canoeing, and water sports, and at the tips of their guide, they went to Kilauea, stood on the rim of the crater, and witnessed the lava flow that you wouldn't see in a tourist city like New York or Miami.
Finally, they ended their trip to Hawaii and flew to Paris, France, all the way to Courchevel, a famous ski resort in the Alps, where they booked a cottage right on the lake, a short distance from the ski slopes.
It's just that Jimmy forgot one thing when they booked the vacation program before, although Courchevel is open all year round, but because of the time, the ski season is generally from December to April of the following year, and their wedding is in May, and it was almost June when they came here at the end of their vacation in Hawaii, just after the end of the ski season, except for some snow resorts on the top of the mountain, most of them have begun to rest.
Jimmy and Nia sat on the balcony of the chalet and looked at the scenery in front of them, but fortunately, the travel map provided by the village still showed a lot of places to play, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, many ways to explore the mountains and nature around Courchevel, and the journey through valleys, forests and meadows together was also a unique trip, and it was not a complete failure.
There are also some things that are rarely seen in other places, such as paragliding and skydiving, and it is also quite good to experience the beauty of snow-capped mountains, meadows, and forests from the air.
After playing for a while, Jimmy and Nia didn't continue to wander around Europe, bought some souvenirs and returned to the United States.
The reason why she didn't go around the big cities like everyone else was 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, and Jimmy's taste in clothes and luxury goods was too bad.
Bringing some souvenirs that were easy to carry with them, and buying some wine for 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 that she would take Nya to see her, just after the honeymoon, so I stopped by to see her and have a few words.
Because Jimmy called in advance to make an appointment, by the time they arrived, Mrs. Waltz's cabin was already very lively, Andrew from DIA and Thomas from CIA had arrived, and Jimmy had asked Mrs. Waltz to help him bring them invitations, but they didn't show up at the wedding because of their identity, and now they were all nearby, so they came together.
Jimmy is okay, I've seen them before, Nia was very surprised, especially after learning their identity, but the atmosphere is still good, although everyone is not related by blood, but for these old people to see their friends' children thrive and get married, it is a very happy thing.
After finishing their visit, Jimmy and Nia finally return to their home, and their busy lives are about to start again. (End of chapter)
