Chicago P.D. enters its highly anticipated 12th season, fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation about what’s in store for their favorite characters.
One of the intriguing possibilities is whether Atwater might step in to officiate a wedding between Ruzek and Burgess, two characters whose on-again, off-again relationship has been a cornerstone of the show. The relationship between Ruzek and Burgess has been a roller coaster of emotions, full of intense moments, heartbreaks, and reconciliation. Their dynamic has been one of the most compelling arcs on Chicago P.D., and after everything they’ve been through, it seems like marriage could be the next step.
With the emotional toll of working dangerous cases in the Intelligence Unit, Burgess and Ruzek have become each other’s rock, especially after the traumatic events surrounding Burgess’ near-death experiences. The idea of these two finally tying the knot feels like a natural evolution for their characters. Atwater, known for his strong moral compass and loyalty to his friends, has always played a significant role in the personal lives of his team. His close bond with both Ruzek and Burgess adds an extra layer of depth to his potential involvement in their wedding.
Fans have speculated that if Ruzek and Burgess do get married this season, Atwater could play a unique role — possibly even officiating the ceremony. This would be a fitting way to showcase Atwater’s importance to the team, not just as a police officer but as a friend who helps his colleagues navigate their personal lives.
While there’s no official confirmation of a wedding in Season 12, the possibility is certainly exciting. It would give fans the emotional payoff they’ve been waiting for after years of watching Ruzek and Burgess navigate their complicated relationship. A wedding could also provide a refreshing change of pace in the gritty, action-packed world of Chicago P.D.
As the season unfolds, viewers will be on the edge of their seats to see if Ruzek and Burgess finally get their happily ever after — and if Atwater has a surprising role in the big day. Whether Atwater marries Ruzek and Burgess or simply stands by their side as they take the next step in their relationship, Season 12 is shaping up to be filled with emotional highs and unforgettable moments. Fans can only hope that love will finally triumph for these beloved characters, and we’ll all be watching closely to see what twists and turns are in store.
