The wedding ceremony took place during the afternoon at the Shivalik Country Club in Panchkula, following Vedic rituals adhering to Arya Samaj traditions. The wedding procession arrived from Charkhi Dadri and was warmly received by the bride's family.
A Partnership Born at LBSNAA Mussoorie
The two officers originally met during their civil services foundation training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie. Their friendship during the training academy evolved into a lifelong bond. Aditi Singh, a native of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, was initially allocated the Himachal Pradesh cadre as an IPS officer. Following their wedding finalization, administrative rules facilitated her cadre transfer to Haryana, allowing both officers to be posted together in Panchkula.

At the ceremony, Vivek Arya wore a cream-colored sherwani, while Aditi Singh was dressed in traditional red bridal attire. Immediately following the exchange of garlands, the IAS officer celebrated the moment by raising his bride's hand in the air, drawing enthusiastic applause from the assembled guests.
