After twelve seasons of high-stakes crime and heartbreak, Chicago P.D. fans are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel with Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek’s long-awaited wedding plans. But if episode 16, Seen and Unseen, taught us anything, it’s that no amount of love can shield you from the chaos of real life—or a One Chicago curveball.
The latest episode zoomed in on Burgess’ mounting responsibilities: her new role as detective, a high-pressure murder case that hit close to home, parenting duties with Makayla, and of course, planning a wedding that seems to grow more complicated by the hour. Amid it all, viewers were gifted a rare and emotional moment of clarity from Burgess—one that could either save or upend her relationship.
Guest Lists, Leaky Roofs, and Emotional Exhaustion
Unlike the rushed courthouse wedding of Upstead, Chicago P.D. seems committed to building something grand for Burzek. But naturally, the road to “I do” is packed with obstacles. As Yahoo Entertainment reported, the episode highlighted everything from a broken roof to ailing parents to a never-ending guest list.
Adam had already penned about 80 names, while Kim struggled to even begin hers. With Makayla’s school issues and relentless work pressure, their home life was visibly cracking. What could’ve ended in icy silence was salvaged by one of the show’s most inventive narrative devices—showing flashbacks of the same scenes from new angles to mirror Burgess’ emotional epiphany.
A Langham Weekend and a Wake-Up Call
The standout moment came when Burgess, weary and overwhelmed, stepped away from her endless paperwork to finally see Ruzek—not just physically, but emotionally. Her realization? That she’d been missing the small, meaningful moments. That their love deserved more space than spreadsheets and subpoenas.
Without warning, she booked a romantic getaway for them at Chicago’s five-star Langham Hotel and surprised Adam with a speech that has since gone viral among the fandom: “We’re planning this wedding and getting married… I don’t want my memories of this time to be all stress. You and I, we’re really good. But I don’t want to miss things.” According to NBC Insider, this intimate confession proved that Burzek may now be One Chicago’s most emotionally in-sync couple.
Still, just as we were exhaling, the show reminded us: their guest list has ballooned to 120—and the wedding planner has already warned there’s no way that’ll fit in a backyard.
So… Will the Wedding Actually Happen?
Here’s where things get tricky. Nobody’s backing out. There’s no drama like Voight wrecking another relationship (we’re looking at you, Upstead). But fans have every reason to be skeptical. Recent One Chicago weddings have included ceremonies on boats, inside fish stores, and practically everywhere except their originally intended venues.
Still, the signs of a Burzek wedding—some form of it—are hard to ignore. Marina Squerciati has been sharing bridal dress fittings and a wedding invite marked May 25, 2025, on her Instagram. She even revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that she and Patrick John Flueger were still filming the finale while Seen and Unseen was airing.
As NBC Insider subtly hinted, “everything points to a wedding happening, just maybe not the one they imagined.” So whether it’s a backyard swap, a courthouse vow, or another Chicago Fire crossover, something tells us Burzek won’t leave us hanging.
And let’s be honest—at this point, we don’t really care how it happens, as long as they say “I do.”
