Albanese Marries Jodie Haydon at The Lodge, First Sitting Australian PM to Wed in Office

A small, security‑controlled ceremony followed a postponement until after Labor’s re‑election.

Overview

  • About 60 family and friends attended the afternoon ceremony at The Lodge in Canberra the day after Parliament’s final sitting.
  • Details were tightly held with a heightened security presence in place following recent threats to the prime minister’s safety.
  • The couple wrote their own vows, their dog Toto carried the rings, and five‑year‑old niece Ella was the flower girl.
  • Senior ministers including Jim Chalmers, Penny Wong and Katy Gallagher were among the guests, along with close family members.
  • The prime minister’s office said all costs were paid privately and the couple will take a short Australian honeymoon next week.
