In the moment the tension of the past few months eased from her, numerous television cameras were trained on Jody Tuchin. The Australian had come to Sydney Airport to pick up her best friend. He had arrived from Los Angeles at 6.20am that morning, becoming one of the first travelers to enter Australia after the borders reopened to foreigners. The pictures of the two hugging each other went around the world. “I’m absolutely thrilled that he’s here now,” Jody Tuchin told FAS. “We haven’t seen each other since October 2018. We’re happy to be able to catch up,” says the Australian. She had postponed her wedding four times because her best friend couldn’t be there. Now he came just in time; just three days before the celebration.
