Dhar (Madhya Pradesh): Indian marriages are usually a glittery and expensive affair, with pre-wedding functions that run for days. However, one couple in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar has set an example by having a wedding in just Rs 500. According to an IANS report, an administrative officer and an army major got married without the usual ‘band-baaja-baarat’ affair. Keeping the ceremony extremely simple, both of them 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. Both of them hail from Bhopal. Their wedding had been fixed two years back, but got postponed several times due to Covid.
