Bindi Irwin shares unseen photo from her wedding at Australia Zoo with the tallest living giraffe

Bindi Irwin has shared an unseen photo from her March wedding to Chandler Powell at Australia Zoo.

The 21-year-old posted an image to Instagram that showed her holding out her hand and feeding a giraffe in her wedding dress. 

The conservationist explained that it was no ordinary giraffe, but the world’s tallest, living giraffe, named Forest. 

Bindi wrote in the caption beside the photo: ‘Meet Forest. This sweetheart is officially the tallest living giraffe measuring in at 5.7m tall (18 ft 8 in). 

‘He has a heart of gold and we love him dearly,’ she added, also writing that she’s shared the picture to honour World Giraffe Day. 

It comes after Bindi blasted Australia’s major television networks for ruining her ‘dream wedding’.

She claimed news helicopters flying overhead had forced the couple to change the venue from the ‘African savannah’ section of Australia Zoo to a nearby barn.

Bindi shared a photo from her nuptials to Instagram on Monday, alongside the caption: ‘This isn’t the fairytale image capturing the “perfect” wedding day feeling. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.’   

Bindi explained that she and Chandler had hoped to say ‘I do’ in the African savannah, but things didn’t go to plan when someone tipped off the media. 

‘On our wedding day we were finally about to get married and the paparazzi flew over us in a helicopter scaring our wildlife,’ she wrote.  

‘We had to leave our stunning wedding venue on the African savannah for their safety. I said goodbye to the place I had dreamed of getting married for so many years,’ she added.  

Bindi and Chandler had moved their original wedding date of April 4 forward to March 25 due to the rapidly escalating COVID-19 pandemic.
