In the world of One Chicago, love isn’t just confined to the workplace—it’s a major theme that has run through Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med. Over the years, we’ve witnessed countless love stories unfold between the brave doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. Now that Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) have finally tied the knot in Chicago P.D. Season 12, it’s the perfect time to look back at some of the most iconic weddings across the One Chicago universe, ranking them based on their emotional impact and unforgettable moments.
9. Halstead & Upton
The wedding between Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) was a bit of a letdown for fans. While it was nice to see the couple finally tie the knot, the ceremony felt rushed and lacked the buildup fans had expected. It wasn’t a major event in Chicago P.D., and the wedding was more of a background detail than a grand occasion. However, the steamy sex scene that followed added some heat
to the episode.
8. Casey & Dawson
Casey (Jesse Spencer) and Dawson (Monica Raymund) had a sweet, simple wedding in Chicago Fire, set against the milestone of the show’s 100th episode. Their courthouse nuptials, with little Louie by their side, were heartfelt and tender, but the real charm came when their firehouse family surprised them with their support. It may have been low-key, but the love between Casey and Dawson was evident, making it a memorable moment.
7. Boden & Donna
Boden (Eamonn Walker) and Donna (Melissa Ponzio) pulled off the ultimate Chicago Fire wedding, with a ceremony at the firehouse grounds. The dramatic entrance under a canopy of fire trucks, complete with bagpipes and Herrmann serving as best man, made for a memorable day. Boden’s emotional reaction when he saw Donna walk down the aisle showed just how much he cherished their relationship. This wedding was full of heart and tradition.
6. Casey & Brett
Casey and Brett (Kara Killmer) weren’t a couple everyone expected, but their relationship blossomed beautifully in Chicago Fire. Their wedding, officiated by Boden, took place in an aquarium—one of the most unique wedding venues on TV. Brett looked ethereal in her wedding dress, and their heartfelt vows made for an incredibly touching moment. It was a sweet “friends-to-lovers” story that won over fans.
5. Burgess & Ruzek
After years of ups and downs, Chicago P.D. fans finally saw the moment Burzek (Burgess and Ruzek) fans had been waiting for: their wedding. Although their nuptials were planned at the last minute, it was a beautiful, emotional day for the couple. While fans were disappointed not to hear the wedding vows, it didn’t take away from the joy of seeing the couple marry. Their wedding represented the culmination of their long and complicated relationship.
4. Cruz & Chloe
Cruz (Joe Minoso) and Chloe (Kristen Lee Gutoskie) had one of the most emotional weddings in Chicago Med. After the devastating loss of Otis (Yuriy Sardarov), it was a much-needed moment of joy. The wedding felt bittersweet, with Otis’s memory lingering in the church. The presence of Cruz’s firehouse family and the emotional atmosphere made this wedding feel incredibly special.
3. Severide & Kidd
Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) had one of the most dramatic weddings, getting married on a boat on the Chicago River in Chicago Fire. Their ceremony was intimate and personal, with both reciting their own vows to each other. Severide’s pledge to prove he’s worthy of Kidd’s love, along with Kidd calling him “magic,” was one of the most romantic moments in One Chicago history. It was a perfect expression of their deep connection.
2. Mouch & Platt
Mouch (Christian Stolte) and Platt (Amy Morton) are the ultimate One Chicago couple, with their marriage celebrated in the beloved Molly’s. Their relationship represents the beauty of opposites attracting, and their wedding reflected their fun, quirky dynamic. With their firehouse family surrounding them, Mouch and Platt proved that love is all about finding someone who balances you out, and their wedding in Molly’s was the perfect setting for this memorable moment.
1. April & Ethan
Without a doubt, the most spectacular wedding in One Chicago goes to April (Yaya DaCosta) and Ethan (Brian Tee) from Chicago Med. Their wedding was practically perfect in every way—April looked like a princess in her dazzling bridal gown, and the ceremony took place in a beautiful church. The wedding was truly magical, and their happiness shone through. The couple even drove off in the Doc on Wheels truck, tying their wedding to their medical roots in the most charming way possible. April and Ethan’s wedding wasn’t just the most visually stunning, but it was the culmination of a long-awaited love story that had fans cheering for their happiness.
