However, when they saw the church where the wedding was held, Mark and Melissa (Nia's police colleague) were shocked. They weren't outsiders who knew nothing; even without paying much attention, they understood the value of some of New York's oldest churches. It had been many years since a wedding ceremony was last held at St. Andrew's Church.

During the rehearsal, Nia met Priest White for the first time. Priest White was quite cordial to Nia, but when he was chatting with Jimmy, Priest White half-jokingly mentioned that he hoped to baptize Jimmy's first child.

Of course, Jimmy readily agreed, but when he was talking with Nia on his way back, he realized something. Priest White and the others had their eyes on Jimmy's lineage, clearly hoping that the next generation with Jimmy's excellent heritage could become a member of the Church.

Jimmy's compatibility with Holy Light Power had indeed shocked Priest White and the others at the time. He was able to let the Holy Light circulate and disperse through his body effortlessly. The key was that Jimmy wasn't affected by the Holy Light at all, behaving just as he had before, which exceeded the expectations of these priests.

If Jimmy's descendants inherited this physical trait, they would undoubtedly be very important to the Church. If they could use some current privileges to persuade Jimmy to allow his child to be baptized, it would naturally provide an opportunity to bring others in as well.

All this was calculated, but Jimmy wasn't particularly familiar with the Church's people, so he didn't think of this layer at the time. Now it seemed that both he and his family had been targeted by the Church.

This was the first time Jimmy encountered such a situation. Previous targeting was merely against him personally, but now someone was eyeing his child, which was a bit creepy.

Jimmy didn't tell Nia about this matter because having the child baptized, especially by a high-ranking priest like Priest White, was considered a good thing for them, even if Nia wasn't a believer. People in the United States had long been accustomed to such things, and it wasn't something unacceptable.

Besides, if Priest White and the others hadn't mentioned his physical anomaly, Jimmy couldn't have explained his feelings. Doing so would make those around him believe he was destined to believe in the Holy Light, and it would be natural for his child to follow suit, making it harder to explain why he didn't want the child baptized.

Jimmy gave up his bachelor party, and the bar was arranged in advance. He left that night entirely to Nia and her friends to have as wild a time as they wanted. Such pre-wedding bachelor parties were considered a traditional and widespread activity. It was just that Jimmy didn't have schoolmates and colleagues from back in the day; otherwise, he would not have missed out on hosting such an event.

On the wedding day, Jimmy and the groomsmen were already dressed in their suits and arrived at the church. After waiting for a while, Nia and her party finally showed up. It seemed like they really partied hard the previous night. Even the model girls, despite their makeup, looked a bit worn out, but it wasn't too impactful. Nia looked much more normal, after all, it was her big day, and she was careful the previous night, getting enough rest.

Jimmy first went to the church garden and stood in position under the photographer's instruction. Nia walked over from the other side as directed, stopping in front of Jimmy. They conversed and performed the prearranged actions for the photographer, who took pictures for their wedding album.

Jimmy wore a black suit with a white shirt; the black-and-white combination is timeless. The well-tailored suit perfectly highlighted Jimmy's good physique. Nia wore an elegant white wedding dress, adorned with exquisite lace, emitting a beautiful and soft glow. Her golden long hair was elegantly styled into a bun, topped with sparkling headpieces, showcasing her elegance.

After the photo session, the garden was left to Jimmy and Nia, as the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and photographers all left.

Jimmy and Nia chatted in the garden for a while to ease their nerves. Then Nia left the garden, and Jimmy called Mark and Woody to the church entrance.

Mark and Woody were responsible for greeting the guests, while a priest beside them reminded the arriving guests not to be noisy inside the church; there were some differences here compared to other churches.

Both Jimmy and Mark had robust physiques. Their bodies, sculpted by years of law enforcement, although not as conspicuous as those of gym-goers, still made them the center of attention, especially against Woody's presence.

Woody had a pretty good physique too, at least compared to ordinary people. However, compared to Jimmy and Mark, there was definitely a gap. Plus, he was quite a bit older than the two of them, so while he couldn't be called handsome, he certainly wouldn't steal the spotlight.

Jimmy just made a brief appearance before entering the rest room beside the church, only coming out right before the ceremony started, and joined the groomsmen near the altar.

The decorations inside St. Andrew's Church hadn't been altered much, just adorned with some additional flowers and greenery. The ancient altar and the large cross above it highlighted the historical ambiance of the place.

The entrance started, and Nia, accompanied by Kevin, walked in from the church entrance. She smiled as she looked at Jimmy, who was already standing by the altar, and slowly walked to the other side of the altar, her eyes fixed on Jimmy. Of course, Jimmy hadn't looked at anyone else since Nia entered the church, his gaze always locked on Nia.
