Bindi Irwin spent more than a year planning her dream wedding to her “best friend” Chandler Powell at Australia Zoo, but despite their obvious happiness it was a bittersweet affair. The Wildlife Warriors made the tough decision to marry without family and friends, apart from her mum Terri and brother Robert, rushing the wedding forward to March 25 as the coronavirus pandemic struck Australia.
“Despite the fact they made it as positive as they could, there is no denying their wedding wasn’t what they wanted it to be, especially compared to what they had planned,” a well-placed insider tells Woman’s Day, who reveals the pair are quietly planning a secret second wedding in the US.
According to the insider, Bindi, 21, and her husband, 23, intend to tie the knot again in a lavish ceremony – and they may never look back!
The lovebirds, who first met in 2013, are said to be heading to Oregon to re-do their big day. The state holds a very special place in Bindi’s heart – it’s where her mother Terri, 55, was born and raised. “They want do it later this year – she loves the snow-capped mountains around there,” tells the source.
