City Magistrate and Army Major got married in just Rs 500

Indian weddings are usually a costly affair with pre-wedding functions that last for days. In the case of high-ranking government employees, it is well known that their weddings are glittery and expensive.

But by contrast, two high-ranking government employees were modestly married without any actual commotion. The incident took place in Madhya Pradesh.

A couple in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar had completed their wedding in just Rs 500, putting an end to the tradition of spending a whopping amount for the occasion.

According to reports, an administrative officer and an army major tied the knot by spending only Rs 500. The bride Shivangi Joshi is the city magistrate of Dhar while the groom Aniket Chaturvedi is a Major in the Indian Army, who is currently posted in Ladakh.

Their wedding had been fixed two years back but got delayed several times due to Covid-19. The couple finally got married modestly and passed strong a message to the society to stop unnecessary extravagance during weddings.
