Reception: The ceremony was followed by a reception, also at The Lodge.
Historical Context: Albanese is the first serving Australian Prime Minister to get married. He proposed on the balcony of The Lodge on Valentine's Day in February 2024, with an engagement ring he had designed.
Their relationship began five years ago over a mutual love of rugby league.

The Bride: Jodie Haydon works for the NSW Public Service Association and has a background in the superannuation sector. She has increasingly taken on the traditional roles of a prime ministerial spouse, including serving as chief patron of the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

The wedding went ahead under heavy security arrangements, reflecting recent threats against the prime minister.
Security Presence: There was a substantial security presence at the wedding since Albanese said in Parliament recently that there have been "a number of arrests in recent times. associated with my safety."
The Residence: The Lodge, where the ceremony and reception were held, was built in 1927 and has been the temporary or permanent residence for all but a few of Albanese's predecessors. The colonial revival-style residence underwent a major restoration completed in 2019. Albanese was previously married to former NSW Deputy Premier Carmel Tebbutt for almost twenty years before they separated in 2019. This is the first marriage for Jodie Haydon.
