Bindi says ‘yes to the dress’
Two months after getting engaged to boyfriend Chandler Powell, conservationist Bindi Irwin has picked out her wedding gown for the big day. “I said yes to the dress,” wrote Bindi on Instagram along with a picture that showed off the white lace sleeve of her gown, as well as her custom nature-inspired engagement ring.
People reports that the bride-to-be has been meticulously planning every detail of her wedding, something which younger brother Robert confirms. “Bindi is in planning mode, she’s incredible,” says 15-year-old Robert, adding, “She’s got all color-coded binders.”
Interestingly, 22-year-old Bindi will be walked down the aisle by her brother, who clearly means the world to her since the death of their father, Steve Irwin. “I’m grateful that Robert is there; he has always stepped up and been the one to give me a hug when I needed it,” she wrote, adding, “So he will definitely be the one to walk me down the aisle when the time comes, and that will make it really special.”
Bindi also shared a message written to her father, The Crocodile Hunter star, who died after being attacked by a stingray in 2006. “Dad, You would be so incredibly proud of Robert. He has been such an amazing support during this beautiful new life chapter,” wrote Bindi, poignantly adding, “I wish you could be here for these moments, but I know that your spirit lives on in us.”
