In a heartwarming ceremony, Haydon’s five-year-old niece, Ella, took on the cherished role of flower girl, while Albanese’s beloved dog, Toto, proudly served as the ring bearer.
Haydon made her way down the aisle, accompanied by her parents Bill and Pauline Haydon. The touching moment was set to the melodic tune of Ben Folds’ “The Luckiest.”
The couple exchanged vows they had personally written, with a celebrant officiating the union. The ceremony concluded with the newlyweds joyfully exiting to Stevie Wonder’s classic, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours).”
For the special occasion, Haydon chose a stunning dress crafted by the Sydney designer Romance Was Born, while Albanese donned an elegant suit from MJ Bale.
Ella and Toto, the charming duo of flower girl and ring bearer, added a delightful touch to the memorable day.
The witnesses were Haydon’s brother Patrick Haydon and Albanese’s cousin Helen Golden.
The wedding rings were from Cerrone Jewellers in Leichhardt, Sydney.

Albanese proposed to Haydon at The Lodge on Valentine’s Day in 2024 with a ring he designed himself.

The pair first met in March 2020 at a business dinner function in Melbourne, at which Albanese asked if there were any fans of the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL team in the room and Haydon yelled “up the Rabbitohs”.
