Bindi Irwin, at the age of 26, recently shared a beautiful throwback photo from her early romance with husband Chandler Powell. The snapshot, taken when Bindi was 17 and Chandler was 19, showcases a tender moment between the couple. Bindi is elegantly dressed in a white prom dress adorned with intricate beading and feathers, while Chandler is donning a white linen suit paired with a black shirt. With their eyes closed and heads tilted towards each other, the picture captures a moment of pure love and affection.
In her caption for the post, Bindi reminisces about the time when the photo was taken, expressing how falling in love with Chandler was an immediate and effortless experience. She goes on to reveal that despite the passage of nine years, her love for him continues to grow with each passing day. The couple is set to celebrate their daughter Grace’s third birthday and their fourth wedding anniversary on March 25th, marking another milestone in their journey together.
Bindi and Chandler exchanged vows in a deeply sentimental ceremony at the Australia Zoo in Queensland in 2020. The zoo holds a special place in Bindi’s heart as it was founded by her great-grandparents, Bob and Lyn Irwin. Bindi’s father, the legendary Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter, was a beloved conservationist who tragically passed away in 2006. Despite his absence, Bindi has carried on his legacy by championing wildlife conservation efforts.
Prior to their wedding, Bindi opened up about finding ways to honor her late father during the ceremony. She expressed a desire to include elements that reminded her of Steve, such as koalas and wombats, creatures that held a special significance to him. Bindi’s decision to get married at the Australia Zoo, a place her father cherished, added a profound layer of sentimentality to the occasion.
The couple’s wedding, held just before the COVID-19 restrictions came into effect, was a testament to their enduring love. Bindi’s bridal gown, sourced from a boutique in Brisbane, paid homage to her mother’s wedding dress from decades ago. While she considered wearing her mother’s exact dress, Bindi ultimately decided that having it worn on her parents’ special day held more significance.
Since their wedding, Bindi and Chandler have joyfully welcomed their daughter Grace into the world. Born on their first wedding anniversary, Grace symbolizes the continuation of their love story and the beginning of a new chapter as a family. As they navigate parenthood together, Bindi and Chandler remain steadfast in their commitment to each other, embodying the true essence of enduring love.
