Anthony Albanese and his bride Jodie Haydon marked their marriage with a two-tier wedding cake and a music playlist that matched the tastes of the happy couple.
Toto Albanese, Australia’s first dog, was the designated ring-bearer for the first wedding of a sitting prime minister, and the pair wrote their own vows.
About 70 guests attended the wedding, held at The Lodge in Canberra, and included a mixture of Albanese’s political allies, school friends, family and even friends from Albanese’s days growing up in social housing in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown.

Guests chose from a buffet [paid for by the couple, not taxpayers] that included beef, fish, a selection of vegetables and salads, prawns, oysters, a couple of desserts including tiramisu and a modern take on an Australian favourite, the pavlova, and a two-tiered wedding cake.
