On the big day, Bindi Irwin’s mom, Terri Irwin, helped her get ready, while her brother, Robert Clarence Irwin, walked her down the aisle. “Chandler became my husband and together we lit a candle in Dad’s memory. We shared tears and smiles and love. Thankfully, since we all live at Australia Zoo as a family, we could be there for each other,” she wrote.
Chandler Powell shared the same photo on his Instagram page. “We’re finally married! Today, March 25, 2020, marks the most amazing day of my life. I married my best friend,” he wrote. “After almost a year of planning, we changed everything so that we could enjoy a safe and small private ceremony at our home, Australia Zoo. As we embark on this new life chapter I hope that we can share some love in the world, especially during this challenging time.”
As People previously reported, the couple met in 2013 at the Australia Zoo and dated for six years before becoming engaged in July 2019. They planned to get married alongside their closest friends and relatives this April, but had to rethink their ceremony due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
The day before the intimate wedding, Bindi shared a throwback shot of herself as a kid with late dad Steve Irwin. She captioned the heartwarming photo, “Thank you for being my guiding light. You’re always with me.”
