The wedding that never happened
At the start of season 4, Will and Natalie were eager to get married. However, things took a complicated turn when Will started working undercover with the FBI to take down a dangerous crime family. The stress and secrecy surrounding his mission put immense pressure on their relationship.
On their wedding day, Will was kidnapped by individuals linked to his undercover work. Though he was eventually rescued, he was immediately placed in witness protection, preventing him from making it to the wedding. Natalie was left standing at the altar, shocked and heartbroken.
Aftermath and emotional fallout
The traumatic event left Will struggling with PTSD and overwhelming guilt over how his actions had affected Natalie. Despite the intensity of their love, the emotional wounds were hard to mend. Miscommunication and lingering pain ultimately led to a devastating breakup.
Once seen as soulmates, the couple drifted apart and settled into being "just friends," a change that impacted the hospital's dynamics and their relationships with coworkers and friends.
A hopeful reunion in Chicago Med season 8

"I'm never going to let you go."
This moment hinted at a fresh start for the couple. As they embark on a new chapter in Seattle, fans are hopeful that this time, they will finally find their happy ending.
