The conservationist and her long-term boyfriend announced their engagement in July and have confirmed they’ll marry in a dream wedding – complete with wildlife – at Australia Zoo next year.
“Koalas on our wedding day is a MUST,” Bindi even commented Instagram, with Chandler adding, “It only makes sense that we include our Australia Zoo family in on our special day.”
While the couple have always appeared happy living alongside the family business, as well as Terri and brother Robert, last week it became clear they are hoping for a bit more independence as they head towards married life.
They are reportedly considering moving out of the compound and have been eyeing a large $1.25 million property in the foothills of Mount Mellum in Queensland, which would give them far more privacy as they enter married life.
“Bindi feels like she’s losing control of her big day and barely has a say in anything at the moment. Anyone would think it’s Terri getting married, seriously,” adds the insider.
Meanwhile Terri, who wholeheartedly approves of her daughter’s relationship with Chandler, is just keen to help Bindi plan her special day.
“At the end of the day, Terri just wants what’s best for her daughter,” points out the insider.
“She thinks she can do the best job of planning her big day, especially with Bindi and Chandler being so young.”
