Albo (Anthony Albanese) ties the knot

Another good news story from Australia is that our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, was married yesterday. It was a small occasion, kept secret from the rest of Australia until the last minute because of the potential disruption and security issues. The couple met in 2020 and have been engaged since Valentine’s Day. They wrote their own vows and his dog, Toto, was the ring-bearer. He is the first prime minister to get married while in office. I wish them both well. I wouldn’t want his job for quids but someone needs to run the country and mostly he seems to do it quite well. Most Australians refer to him as ‘Albo’. The photo was taken at CHOGM in Samoa in 2024 and is from the official photostream of the Prime Minister of the UK.

That’s something of a news that a seating prime minister has decided to tie knots with someone. And l am impressed that the wedding was made in private and not made loud since they could have done that being in the limelight of things. I guess they chose privacy over being in the limelight. That’s an admirable thing for a prominent government official to do while in public service.

@JudyEv Best wishes for that endeavor! While it may seem like a significant distraction from public service, it’s important to remember that as human beings, we all need personal pursuits to bring balance to our lives. These personal activities can make our days more enjoyable, help us cope with challenges, and add meaning to our experiences, ultimately making life more bearable and fulfilling.

Congratulations to the Prime Minister and his new bride. How cute to have his dog as the ring-bearer.

The dog often seems to accompany him on official duties.

I wish the newly married " a happy new life" as we say in our Christian circle here. I'm glad for him. Our PM Modi has abandoned his wife without divorcing her. Isn't it sad for the lonely woman?

That's sad that she has been abandoned. It's not a nice thing to do.

It's fine if he manages his official duty even after marriage.

He takes his responsibility very seriously. We're lucky to have him I think.

@JudyEv I think then his marriage shouldn't worry the citizens of Australia.

Well, congrats to him, I guess. He sure looks happy in that photo.

I'm glad they didn't have a huge celebration. They'll have enough flak to deal with without people picking on him for spending tax-payers money on a big wedding.

Nice to see that it wasn’t a Prince Charles/Princess Diana elaborate get-up.

His father was Italian and his mother Australian. I must write about his background as it's very interesting.

He should be happier now, obviously, and let that spread all around through his presence and actions. I recall the quote "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

@JudyEv I was reading today that a woman divorced because her husband did not get along with her dog.

@LadyDuck There is a country and western song about a couple wanting to divorce but both want the dog. By the end of the song they've decided not to divorce so they can both keep the dog!

Toto goes with him to lots of public events. He does seem to be very fond of it.
