Let’s be real for a second—there’s no denying that Steve Irwin would have given anything to be at his daughter Bindi Irwin’s wedding. A few days after Bindi tied the knot with Chandler Powell, her mom, Terri Irwin, took to Twitter to share a heartfelt moment about what her late husband, the legendary Crocodile Hunter, would have worn to celebrate the big day.
In a post that melted hearts everywhere, Terri shared a throwback photo of Steve holding their son Robert Irwin during his first wedding. “Remembering @RobertIrwin’s first wedding,” she wrote alongside the sweet image. “I love that Steve and Robert both wore khaki. I know Steve would have worn khaki to Bindi and Chandler’s wedding, too. I wish he could have been there to witness such a special day in his daughter’s life. We miss him so much.”
Bindi's Special Day: A Celebration of Love
On March 25, 2020, Bindi Irwin, now 21, announced her marriage to her "best friend" Chandler Powell, who is 23, in an intimate ceremony. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she expressed her overwhelming joy. “There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now,” she wrote. “We’ve planned this beautiful day for nearly a year, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to make some changes. We didn’t have guests at our wedding, and that was a tough decision. But keeping everyone safe was our top priority.”

Thanks to the global pandemic, Bindi and Chandler had to adjust their plans to ensure the safety of their loved ones. But that didn’t stop them from sharing their joy. Through technology, they were able to "share photos and videos" of their special day with family and friends who couldn’t attend in person. “We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us,” Bindi said. “But right now, we’re encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history.”
The star of Bindi, the Jungle Girl added, “Today, we celebrated life and reveled in every beautiful moment we shared together in our Australia Zoo gardens. My mum helped me get ready, Robert walked me down the aisle, Chandler became my husband, and together we lit a candle in Dad’s memory. We shared tears, smiles, and so much love. Thankfully, since we all live at Australia Zoo as a family, we could be there for each other.”
Steve Irwin would be so proud of his daughter and the way she and her family carried on his legacy of love, conservation, and family values.
