“I’ve been working on this slowly since @bindisueirwin and @chandlerpowell got married. I couldn’t stop thinking about how Steve would be so proud of them. So I wanted to draw all the Irwin’s together, including Sui. Steve’s best friend,” the artist had written while sharing the photo for the first time explaining her thoughts behind creating the painting.

Excited to meet the family finally, she shared series of videos to mark the occasion on her own Instagram page.

Earlier this year, the couple tied the knot on March 25 in a small ceremony at the Australia zoo itself, changing their elaborate plans owning to the coronavirus pandemic. “We had Dad’s picture with his dog Sui blown up on an easel. So Mom and Robert were standing right next to Dad as we exchanged vows,” Bindi previously had said. “We had a candle-lighting ceremony for him, and it really felt like he was there with us. It was a lovely moment of peace and happiness.”

That’s the exact way that pic should be, with Steve at his daughter’s wedding, walking her down the aisle with NO CORONAVIRUS!! May Steve RIP.

Bindi and Chandler dated for six years before he proposed to her on her 21st birthday last year. In several posts, the daughter shared how emotional she has been with all the talks about her marriage, and missing her father for the special day. But thanks to her brother and mother, the ceremony was beautiful despite the pandemic woes.

The popular Australian zookeeper and television personality was killed in September 2006 in a tragic accident, when his chest was pierced by a stingray barb while filming in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
