In a testament to the unbreakable bonds of the One Chicago family, Marina Squerciati, the heart and soul behind Chicago P.D.’s Kim Burgess, made headlines when she left the show’s set at 4:30 a.m. to attend Torrey DeVitto’s glamping-themed bachelorette party in August 2024. The weekend bash, held at Camp Aramoni in Tonica, Illinois, celebrated DeVitto—known for her role as Dr. Natalie Manning on Chicago Med—ahead of her September wedding to Jared LaPine. Marina’s whirlwind journey from filming to festivities, shared via her vibrant Instagram posts, captured the joy of their friendship and sent fans into a nostalgic frenzy, proving that loyalty in the One Chicago universe extends far beyond the screen.
Marina, who welcomed her second child in 2024, balanced a grueling Chicago P.D. Season 12 schedule to join her close friend Torrey for a weekend of laughter and love. The glamping party was a dreamy affair, filled with campfires, s’mores, yoga sessions, and arts-and-crafts under the Illinois stars. Marina’s Instagram carousel showcased candid moments: a beaming selfie with a pregnant Torrey, a playful kiss on Torrey’s baby bump, and the bridal party biking through the campgrounds. “We laughed, we cried, we did arts n’ crafts,” Marina captioned, her exhaustion from the early-morning dash melting into memories neither would forget. Fans flooded the comments, calling the reunion “the cutest” and marveling at how the duo’s decade-long friendship made them “look more alike” over time.
Torrey, expecting her first child with LaPine, glowed as the bride-to-be, surrounded by her closest friends, including Marina, who later served as a bridesmaid at the couple’s September 14 wedding. The bachelorette weekend wasn’t just a party—it was a celebration of Torrey’s new chapter and the sisterhood that has defined her One Chicago tenure. Marina’s dedication, leaving a Chicago set at dawn to make the three-hour drive to Tonica, spoke volumes about their bond, forged through years of crossovers and shared milestones, from Torrey’s engagement to Marina’s growing family.
For fans, Marina’s effort was a heartwarming reminder of the real-life camaraderie behind Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med. Social media buzzed with reactions, from “Marina’s the friend we all need!” to hopes for a Burgess-Manning cameo reunion. The event also highlighted the One Chicago cast’s tradition of showing up for each other, whether at weddings, baby showers, or, as Marina proved, a bachelorette bash worth losing sleep for. As Chicago P.D. continues to captivate audiences, Marina’s glamping adventure underscores the magic of friendships that shine as brightly as the shows themselves, leaving fans dreaming of more off-screen reunions to come.
