Dr. Virginia Katherine Workman and Dr. Shobhit Singla are to be married May 26. The Rev. Lynne T. Clements, a Presbyterian minister, is to officiate at Mount Ida Farm and Vineyard in Scottsville, Va. On May 25, Pandit Maha Visnu, a Hindu priest and Vaisnava scholar, led the couple in a ceremony at the University of Virginia’s Alumni Hall.
The couple met while at Columbia, from which each received a medical degree and from which Dr. Singla also received a doctoral degree in neuroscience. Both are now in medical training at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Dr. Workman as a fellow in cardiovascular medicine and Dr. Singla as an intern. In July, she is to to begin a fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology and he will begin a neurology residency, also at Yale-New Haven.
The bride, 31, graduated from Duke.
She is the daughter of Martha A. Greene-Workman and Marcus O. Workman of Poquoson, Va. The bride’s father retired as a chemistry professor at Thomas Nelson Community College in Newport News, Va. Her mother is a clinical psychologist at the Riverside Behavioral Center in Hampton, Va.
The groom, also 31, graduated with distinction from Cornell.
He is a son of Vidushi Singla and Dr. Sudershan Singla of Southborough, Mass. The groom’s mother is the site administrator for the Milford, Mass., clinic of the Reliant Medical Group. His father is an associate professor of anesthesiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Mass.
The couple met not in a classroom, but rather during a medical-school production of the Sondheim musical “Into the Woods,” for which Dr. Workman played the role of Cinderella, while Dr. Singla was a gnome.
