The Irwins are without a doubt my favorite famous family. I'm sorry, the Smiths, the Kardashians, and the Baldwins, but you just can't compete with the warm, wholesome, and environmentally conscious unofficial first family of Australia.
The Irwins are without a doubt my favorite famous family. I'm sorry, the Smiths, the Kardashians, and the Baldwins, but you just can't compete with the warm, wholesome, and environmentally conscious unofficial first family of Australia.
Bindi and her fiance Chandler actually met the exact same way that Steve Irwin met his wife, Terri. Steve (and later Bindi) were giving a tour at the Australian Zoo that their future spouses attended.
Bindi wrote of the photos, "We were in the gardens of Australia Zoo and it was beyond perfect. I never even knew Robert was there photographing and I’ll always be grateful to have these special memories of the most amazing day of my life."
Including this one, which, okay, he didn't take since he's the one in it, but really shows off how similar him and his dad really are. His caption tugged at our heart strings: "Dad and me feeding Murray... same place, same croc - two photos 15 years apart."
He revealed these "outtakes" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and jokingly called it "the happiest day of my life."
But that's not his only involvement in this couple's special day.
Bindi told Entertainment Tonight that, "I think that for me, it’ll be really important that Robert walks me down the aisle," and added that, "I think it's what Dad would've wanted."
"I’m always so grateful that Robert is there, and he has been such a big part of my life and he’s always stepped up and been the one to give me a hug when I need it and encourage me forward in life," Bindi said.
When news broke about their engagement, Terri Irwin tweeted, "Best day ever! Chandler asked and beautiful @BindiIrwin said yes."
Bindi also spoke to Australia Women's Weekly and added, "Mum and Robert and I have talked about that a lot. We all think dad would have loved Chandler."
We've all practically watched both Bindi and Robert grow up over the past twenty years, and we all feel connected to this family.
She captioned the shot, "I said yes to the dress," and Chandler commented saying that he couldn't wait to see it, which is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
No, it's fine, crying at work is a pretty standard occurrence for me. This is so incredibly sweet.
I don't know about you, but I cannot WAIT for the pictures of the wedding.
