Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, has just written a beautiful note to her late father as she begins planning her wedding. She recently got engaged to long-time partner Chandler Powell. Bindi also reveals that her brother, Robert, will be walking her down the aisle, taking on the role that their dad would have had.
Additionally, for the father-daughter dance at the reception, her mom will be taking on that role. Essentially, she’ll be using her most-loved family members to honor her late father, which is absolutely beautiful.
The touching note to her late father
Dad,
Youโd be so proud of Robert. Heโs been such an amazing support during this new life chapter.
I know youโd be beaming with pride when the time comes that he walks me down the aisle. I wish you could be here for these moments, but I know that your spirit lives on in us โค๏ธ pic.twitter.com/6TGHUU9MxH— Bindi Irwin (@BindiIrwin) August 2, 2019
“Dad, Youโd be so proud of Robert. Heโs been such an amazing support during this new life chapter,” Bindi says in her message. “I know youโd be beaming with pride when the time comes that he walks me down the aisle. I wish you could be here for these moments, but I know that your spirit lives on in us.”
Included in the post are two photos. One is of the whole family back in the day, and the other is a recent photo from the proposal.

Bindi explains in the interview that sheโs thought about this day since she was a little girl. She also says that she wantsย her younger brother, Robert Irwin, to walk her down the aisleย (which would have been Steveโs role).
โIโm always so grateful that Robert is there, and he has been such a big part of my life and heโs always stepped up and been the one to give me a hug when I need it and encourage me forward in life,โ she says about herย brother. โSo he will definitely be the one to walk me down the aisle when the time comes, and I think that will make it really special.โ

Bindiโs mom will also play a huge role
โI think thatโs what dad would have wanted as well,โ Bindi adds. For the father-daughter dance that takes place during the reception,ย she says her mom Terri will take that role.
โI think, if I was going to do a dance, it would be with my mom,โ she confirms. โMy momย and I are so close. Sheโs my pillar of strength in life and I love her beyond descriptionโฆ So I think, when the time comes, Robert will walk me down the aisle, [Chandler and I] will have our wonderful moment and Iโll have my dance with mom. I think that would be wonderful.โ

Steve Irwinโs daughterย speaksย to Australian Womenโs Weekly back in 2017 about her late father and what he wouldโve thought about Chandler. It definitely seems as though Australia Zoo was a very fitting place to celebrate their love. This is because Steve would have loved Chandler, according to Bindi.
โI believe thereโs always someone for everyone and when you find that oneโฆ as we have found each other, itโs a real blessing and a privilege,โ she says. โWe all thinkย Dad would have loved Chandler.โ
