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.”

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!
