After getting the customized invitations, there's still the need to handwrite the invitation words. These things can't be settled in just a day or two. Now, with more than two months to go until the wedding, at least a month and a half must be reserved for mailing the invitations. Some people need Jimmy and Nia to deliver them in person. Overall, the time is already tight, and whether it's Jimmy or others, they all need to replan.

Jimmy shook his head helplessly: "Everything was originally prepared, and now so many things suddenly pop up, it's really torturous."

Kevin: "Don't just focus on these negative things; think positively. You know having a wedding at St. Andrew's Church will attract a lot of attention for you, right? This can also become your asset."

Jimmy: "Well, for me, having more attention now doesn't mean much. I was supposed to be promoted to Supervisory Special Agent this year, but due to educational qualifications, I've been halted. I'll have to wait at least a year and a half."

Kevin, drinking his beer, was suddenly choked by Jimmy's words and started coughing, then laughed out loud, "I can imagine it. I thought about this issue before, but back then I assumed it would only appear when you were promoted next time. Didn't expect it to come up already."

Jimmy: "Yeah, the FBI's entry standard is bachelor's degree or above. I actually joined because after 911, the FBI urgently needed to expand manpower, otherwise I'd still be a county police patrolling in a car, maybe promoted a level or two inside the precinct with a slight salary base increase."

Kevin: "Don't worry, you're still young, time is on your side. It's not bad to settle for a year or two, then when you get promoted again, no one will have excuses to stop you."

Jimmy: "Yeah, there's nothing anyone can do about it. Just the higher up you go, the fewer positions there are. Hopefully, there will be a place for me then."

They chatted casually about daily life, and Kevin and Jimmy left the study room to join Nia and her mom in the living room. You can't just spend the entire evening in the study.

Afterwards, there were many troublesome things, and Jimmy can't just throw everything to others to handle. He'll likely have to get busy too, and there's the matter of delivering invitations personally. He has quite a few people to deliver to, so running in circles will take quite some time. Thankfully, he had informed Ruiz in advance, so he could just take a few days off then.

After starting work, Jimmy found out Mark wasn't in the office, apparently still helping over at Mahong's. He's practically running solo over there, and the key is the plethora of white-collar cases, unlike the Homicide Team. Mark assisting in investigations over there isn't bad, at least he's gaining experience with different cases, but Jimmy is somewhat frustrated as it's hard to slack off now.

Jimmy pondered for a moment and decided to make a call first. Kevin's words over the weekend reminded him to carefully consider the choice of best man. However, it would be unfortunate if there was no suitable person. After calculating his acquaintances, ironically, the most suitable seemed to be his friend from the bar, Woody, who is single. Although he's slightly older than Jimmy, at least he looks decent, and it wouldn't be embarrassing.

But after considering Woody, Jimmy suddenly thought of another possibly more fitting individual over the weekend, Justin from Little Rock. In terms of the help he provided to Jimmy, besides the various big shots, early on Justin indeed helped him quite a bit.

Justin hadn't been in touch for a while, and Jimmy thought about it. Meeting face-to-face for a chat wasn't too convenient now, so maybe calling first to ask would be better; perhaps he might refuse, who knows.
