Carisi & Rollins Had the Most Romantic Kiss at a Bar After Their Surprise Wedding
Remember when "Rollisi" tied the knot and shocked the squad on Law & Order: SVU?
Few Law & Order: Special Victims Unit love stories compare to Carisi (Peter Scanavino) and Rollins' (Kelli Giddish). Over the course of several seasons, fans watched their friendship in the squad room go from a will-they-won't-they dynamic to, eventually, literal wedding bells.
Their nuptials took place in Season 24, specifically the midseason finale. The ceremony was actually a surprise— and it ended with a seriously sweet bar kiss. See details, below, on this rare-for-SVU romantic moment.
Rollins and Carisi's courthouse wedding surprised the SVU squad
Season 24, Episode 9 ("And a Trauma in a Pear Tree") kicked off with Benson, Sgt. Fin (Ice T), and Detective Joe Velasco (Octavio Pisano) getting a text from Carisi that the squad needed to meet him at the courthouse pronto. The detectives assumed this was about a pending serial rapist case, but when they arrived at the courthouse, they found a judge standing with Carisi. Why would a judge be a part of this informal powwow?
Turns out, the meeting had nothing to do with the case at hand. All was revealed when Rollins walked in wearing a stunning wedding gown. This was a surprise wedding!

"Carisi and I were talking," Rollins said. "And we realized that marriage is a lot like a crime. We have a motive, opportunity..."
"I figured all we needed were the witnesses," Carisi told the squad.
"We didn't want to do this without any of you here," Rollins explained, prompting Benson to become teary-eyed.
"You going to start crying already, Liv?" Fin teased as the ceremony began.
Rollins and Carisi's ceremony was short and sweet as they swapped vows surrounded by their SVU pals. It was a casual yet intimate affair, perfect for a down-to-earth couple like Rollins and Carisi.
