Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell got married at the height of the coronavirus pandemic back in March, meaning they had to have their wedding without any guests present. Now, the couple is opening up about their ongoing honeymoon, which they admit has been unpredictable and “slightly crazy.”

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Irwin reminisced about running around in her white gown to pull off last-minute changes to their nuptials at her family’s Australia Zoo, which is where they have spent the past few weeks.

“We are so grateful to take on this new era as a married couple, but it has been a really funny time,” said Irwin, 21. “We have spent our honeymoon here at Australia Zoo caring for 1,200 animals. It’s been really fun.”

“It’s been slightly crazy,” Powell added. “So shortly after we got married, the zoo had to temporarily close which was unbelievable to everyone.”

Irwin agreed with this, saying their honeymoon has “been spent busier than any other time.” They are now spending their days making sure the animals at the zoo are taken care of.

“It’s been a whirlwind to say it lightly,” Irwin explained. “You know, I would expect nothing less of an Irwin honeymoon.”

Chandler, When I went to write my vows I found I couldn’t stop writing them. I started by sharing all the ways you make my life beautiful and wrote close to a thousand words. Then I moved on to write about what an extraordinary person you are and I needed a new pen. Finally I wanted to share all my hopes for the future and I ran out of notebook paper. I thought about how there is no way to describe genuine, unconditional love. A love like this is meant to be felt, in every part of our soul. Marriage marks an incredible beginning and yet I feel like we’ve already experienced so much life together. We say all the time that it feels like we’ve been married for years. We’ve been a team through life’s wonderful highs and difficult lows. You’ve held my hand as we’ve run towards every new adventure. My dad used to say that I couldn’t marry anyone unless he could swim across the croc pond first. And now, here you are, helping us during our regular crocodile demonstrations. One of your jobs is to jump into the water with our biggest crocs to help encourage them home! They say there’s a moment when you know you’ve fallen in love with someone, for me it was watching you happily jump in the water with a 15 foot crocodile and then tell me how much you enjoyed it. You are my soulmate. I promise to love you with all my heart through every twist and turn the world brings our way. I promise to encourage your dreams and help you achieve them. I promise to stand beside you as your wife, teammate and friend. I promise to share an ‘I love you’ before I sleep each night no matter what our day has brought. I promise to be your strength and light when you need a it. I promise to revel with you in each breathtaking moment we are given in this life. Chandler, Thank you for loving me for me. You love me when I’m uncontrollably laughing or falling asleep by ‪6pm‬. You validate what unconditional love really means. You’ve been my best friend for over six years. You’ve made me smile every day since I first met you. That’s amazing and so are you. My husband, my teammate and partner in conservation. To quote our favourite show, “I love you and I like you”.

She also talked about how the creatures of the zoo were incorporated into her wedding day.

“I think it was so funny when we were getting all of our wedding pictures, so the one thing photo-bombing every picture was our giant giraffe, Forest. He decided that he had to be in every single wedding photo,” Irwin said. “It was cute.”

Despite the fact that she did not get to have the wedding that she’d planned, Irwin would not have it any other way.

“Life is messy and crazy and filled with obstacles, and what an incredible foundation to face,” she said. “And marriage is overcoming anything and just focusing on love. We didn’t have any of the fancy frills or anything. And it’s great if you do when you get married, but for us it was about being together no matter what happened.”

We wish Irwin and Powell the best of luck as they embark on their new life together!
