Irwin’s mom, Terri, helped her get ready and little bro, Robert, walked her down the aisle in her father’s place. There were no guests which was a “tough decision,” Irwin wrote, as they wanted to keep “everyone safe.”[video_embed id='1927854']BEFORE YOU GO: Wedding industry facing challenges from COVID-19[/video_embed]Irwin and Powell met at the Australia Zoo seven years ago and have been a couple since.

Irwin, who resembles her father in more than just looks, has been surrounded by animals since she was an infant. It’s no wonder they held their private moment surrounded by their BFFs…the animals we mean. First appearing on camera when she was just a few weeks old, Bindi and Robert went on to become regulars on dad’s The Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin passed away in 2006.At the ceremony, the couple paid tribute to her father: “We lit a candle in [his] memory.” The day before her nuptials, the new bride posted a pic of father and young daughter, thanking him for always being her “guiding light.”
