Fans of Chicago P.D. have been eagerly awaiting the long-anticipated wedding between Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek, a couple whose love story has been years in the making. Now, Marina Squerciati, who plays Burgess, is giving fans a sneak peek at her character’s wedding dress—along with some insights into the type of bride Burgess won’t be.
Burgess and Ruzek have had one of the most emotionally charged relationships in Chicago P.D. history. Their journey together has been filled with ups and downs, from heartbreaking separations to moments of deep, undeniable love. After enduring countless obstacles, their engagement was a moment of pure joy for fans. But what can they expect from Burgess as a bride? According to Squerciati, it won’t be your typical fairytale wedding.
A First Look at the Dress
In an exclusive sneak peek, Squerciati revealed a glimpse of the wedding dress that Burgess will wear on her big day. While she didn’t share every detail, she hinted that the gown is a reflection of Burgess’ personality—elegant yet practical, beautiful without being overly extravagant. “It’s a dress that feels very her,” Squerciati teased. “It’s not overly frilly, it’s not a princess dress. It’s strong, it’s classic, and it’s perfect for Burgess.”
Given Burgess’ tough and resilient nature as a cop in Intelligence, it’s no surprise that she’s opting for a wedding look that feels authentic rather than overly glamorous. Fans who have followed her character since the early seasons know that Burgess is someone who values honesty and strength over flashiness—so her dress choice is likely to be one that embodies her character’s evolution.
The Bride Burgess Won’t Be
While many TV weddings are filled with bridezilla moments, last-minute jitters, and over-the-top drama, Squerciati made it clear that Burgess won’t be the kind of bride who gets caught up in wedding chaos. “She’s not going to be the type to obsess over every detail,” she explained. “She’s focused on what really matters—her relationship with Ruzek and their family together.” This sentiment makes perfect sense considering everything Burgess and Ruzek have been through. Their love story isn’t about grand gestures or perfect weddings—it’s about resilience, trust, and overcoming challenges. They’ve survived betrayals, near-death experiences, and heartbreak, and through it all, they’ve found their way back to each other.
What This Wedding Means for Burzek Fans
For Chicago P.D. fans, the Burgess-Ruzek wedding represents more than just a romantic event—it’s the culmination of years of emotional investment in their relationship. Their love story has been one of the most complex and compelling in the One Chicago universe, and this wedding is a well-earned moment of happiness for both characters. However, in true Chicago P.D. fashion, it wouldn’t be surprising if the wedding doesn’t go entirely as planned. With their dangerous jobs and unpredictable lives, fans are already speculating about what kind of twists and turns might come their way before they say “I do.” Regardless of what happens, one thing is clear—Burgess and Ruzek are stronger than ever. And with Squerciati’s tease of a stunning, character-appropriate wedding dress, fans can rest assured that this will be a moment worth remembering.
