People’s lives have been altered considerably due to the coronavirus pandemic. Plans have been changing, including travel plans and many social gatherings.
Although some of those plans are changing, they haven’t been ruled out altogether. It is more a matter of getting creative and moving forward rather than letting the pandemic stop things altogether. We can often see the creativity come out the pictures that have been shared of unique events that still follow social distancing guidelines.
One couple that had to alter their plans is Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell. More than likely, you are familiar with Irwin, either from her time on Dancing with the Stars or because of her famous father, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter.
Bindi is no longer a little girl and now that she is 21 years old, she was ready to tie the knot. It happened in March, even though the pandemic was in full swing. The couple decided not to allow their wedding plans to be put on hold indefinitely. Rather, they decided to get creative and move forward, although Irwin did say in an Instagram post that it wasn’t exactly what she was hoping it would be.
Perhaps the biggest downfall was the fact that they couldn’t celebrate with their friends and family due to the pandemic. In fact, there weren’t any guests at the wedding. In addition, the wedding ceremony had to be moved indoors at the last minute because the paparazzi were flying in a helicopter overhead. Originally, the wedding was to take place on the African Savanna at the Australia Zoo. It ended up taking placec where she used to film the “Bindi The Jungle Girl” series and where her father had filmed “Crocodile Hunter,” in a barn indoors.

Emotions were running high, which is completely understandable. She missed her father and wished that he had been there with her by her side. He may not have been there physically but he was still honored in a very special way during the wedding.
Entertainment Tonight interviewed Irwin about the wedding day and how she honored her late father. You can see more in the following video:
