Bindi Irwin isn't wasting any time in planning her wedding.
Just two months after announcing her engagement, the famous young Australian conservationist
has announced that she has found the perfect wedding dress, and even teased a glimpse of
it on Instagram on September 29th, 2019, writing, "I said yes to the dress."
Given the full length-sleeve, it seems that Irwin's dress might be on the modest side,
and from what we can see of it, she will look absolutely stunning on her big day.
She explained to Good Morning America that the all-important garment was actually a last-minute
purchase, saying,
"I left my dress until the last minute but I'm really excited about it.
It's really special.
I love it so much because it kind of mimics my mom's beautiful dress so I found something
that paid tribute to her beautiful wedding dress and I'm thrilled."
Irwin tagged her fiancé, longtime boyfriend Chandler Powell, in the Instagram picture
of her wedding dress.
She also made sure to get her beautiful engagement ring in the edge of the shot.
In a previous Instagram post, Irwin revealed some details about the gorgeous diamond sparkler
in the comments, writing,
"My ring features a lab grown diamond and is made with rose gold recycled metal.
Chandler was incredibly thoughtful when he chose it.
The ring captures the essence of who I am (with its vintage flare) and our life together,
with the twisted band and scattered diamonds."
While Bindi Irwin is now famous in her own right, her late father, Steve "The Crocodile
Hunter" Irwin made the family name a household name.
Steve won't be there to walk his daughter down the aisle when she ties the knot, but
Irwin has said that she wants her younger brother, Robert, to stand in for him, telling
Entertainment Tonight in July that she thinks it's what her dad would have wanted.
"I think that for me, it'll be really important that Robert walks me down the aisle.
That's something that I really want to do."
When Irwin and Powell got engaged, Irwin shared a snap of the lovely moment on Instagram,
writing,
"Chandler and [my brother] Robert worked together to capture the moment I said 'YES'.
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."
While this description of their engagement is sweet, it doesn't quite capture the entire
picture.
On September 30th, during her GMA appearance with Powell as well as her mother, Terri,
and her brother, Robert, Irwin explained that her brother gave her quite a scare, all in
an effort to capture the moment on camera.
"So I'm there crying, hugging Chandler and all of a sudden Robert bursts through the
bushes and I'm like a fainting goat, I just die."
Irwin went on to say that the proposal was, quote, "the most beautiful and most terrifying
moment of [her] life."
While Irwin's dress looks like it's going to be quite traditional, her wedding is going
to be anything but.
As she and Powell told GMA, the wedding will feature some of their favorite things.
For starters, they're not getting married in a church or in a hall, but at a zoo.
Powel told the morning show,
"It's where we met, it's where we got engaged, it only makes sense to have it at the Australia
Zoo."
The day will be filled with animals who will be present during the ceremony, and Irwin
says she plans to walk down the aisle while holding a koala, quipping,
"We may be setting some new trends for weddings from here on out."
While a wedding date hasn't been announced yet, Irwin is definitely in the wedding mood
and Powell says she's been on top of planning their special day, comparing her to TV's most
organized civil servant, saying,
"Bindi is 100 percent Leslie Knope.
She has colored-coded binders, she has itineraries for all of us, it makes my job easy."
"We do have a plan ..."
GMA reports that Season 2 of the family reality show Crikey!
It’s the Irwins will feature all the engagement excitement, including a look at the pair releasing
a koala back into the wild as a way to commemorate the occasion.
