CANBERRA  –  Australian Prime Minister An­thony Albanese has married his partner Jodie Haydon, becom­ing the country’s first leader to tie the knot while in office. The pair married in the capital, Canberra, on Saturday afternoon – the day af­ter the final sitting of the parliamentary year. “We are absolutely de­lighted to share our love and commitment to spending our future lives together, in front of our family and clos­est friends,” Albanese said in a brief state­ment. The couple be­came engaged on Val­entine’s Day last year. The Labor leader’s pro­posal and the wedding reception both took place at his official resi­dence, The Lodge. Until the big day, the wed­ding plans had been kept under wraps due to concerns about se­curity and potential disruptions. In atten­dance were Jodie Hay­don’s parents as well as Albanese’s son, Nathan, from his pre­vious marriage. Alba­nese’s dog Toto acted as ring bearer while the couple walked back down the aisle to Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Deliv­ered (I’m Yours)”.
