Chicago P.D. Wedding First Look: Burgess And Ruzek Finally Tie The Knot

At long last, the big day has arrived for "Burzek" and their loyal 'shippers.

NBC on Wednesday released the first official photos from Burgess and Ruzek's wedding in Chicago P.D.'s Season 12 finale, airing next Wednesday, May 21 at 10/9c.

In the episode, "Intelligence ups their pursuit of dirty Deputy Chief Reid. As things escalate and Reid shows himself to be a formidable opponent, Voight finds himself battling his own instincts," showrunner Gwen Sigan previously told TVLine. "Meanwhile, Ruzek and Burgess' wedding fast approaches, Chapman grows closer to Voight, and Torres faces the emotional fall out of his actions."

Despite all the tension with Reid, Burgess and Ruzek's nuptials appear to be a happy affair in the below first look, with both the bride and groom smiling brightly. And Burgess is practically glowing as she walks down the aisle to her future hubby as Voight looks on with pride.

Given the serious nature of the show, which often deals with dark and gritty cases, star Marina Squerciati wasn't sure how her hopes for the wedding would fit into series.

"I don't know, because I feel like it's, like, flowers and frills and beach, and that's, like, just everything Chicago P.D. is not," she told TVLine last November. "I think everyone's unsure how we're going to accomplish this thing that the fans have waited for for 12 years and still respect the tone of the show. Because what I'm thinking is very much like This Is Us. Like, it's not respectful of the tone."

But it looks like the series found a way to deliver an emotional, traditional ceremony in a church, compared to the show's previous impromptu courthouse wedding between Halstead and Upton.
