We all know Telstra chief executive Andy Penn has been having some marriage troubles in recent times – those of the same sex variety, thanks to his former chairman Catherine Livingstone, who last month bowed to pressure from the telco's major customer, the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney and its Archbishop Anthony Fisher, over its corporate support for Australian Marriage Equality. Days later, after a broader customer backlash, Penn fronted Telstra's backflip.

So at least he's had some recent practice in the thorny domain of nuptials. Because he's now getting married himself.
