Bindi Irwin marries in small Australia wedding amid Coronavirus pandemic

26 Mar 2020

The wedding at Australia Zoo was attended by close family members

Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, married Chandler Powell on March 25th 2020.

The couple had been planning their wedding for almost a year, but were forced to change their plans due to the global Coronavirus crisis.

In an Instagram post shared with her 3.4 million followers, Bindi wrote: "We've planned this beautiful day for nearly a year and had to change everything, as we didn't have guests at our wedding. This was a very difficult decision but important to keep everyone safe. We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us, however it's lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos."

The wedding was held at Australia Zoo gardens and Bindi's mum helped her get ready before her brother, Robert, walked her down the aisle. Bindi and Chandler also lit a candle in memory of her dad.

She continued: "We celebrated life and revelled in every beautiful moment we shared together at Australia Zoo gardens. We shared tears and smiles and love."

Offering her advice to everyone during this time of crisis, Bindi added: "Right now we're encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history. To everyone reading this - stay safe, social distance and remember LOVE WINS."
