Love always wins

Their wedding was supposed to happen on April 4; a huge celebration which Bindi had been planning ever since Chandler proposed on her 21st birthday on July 24 last year, when he pulled a diamond ring from his pocket and went down on one knee. Bindi’s brother Robert was in on the surprise and watching on from behind some trees, secretly taking photos. “I was so excited,” Robert said afterwards, laughing.

“It was as though we’d known each other for years.”

In many ways the union felt as if it was destined, for in a curious mirror image of her parents’ relationship Bindi’s beau was American,, “I’d grown up watching Steve and Terri’s documentaries on TV ... I’d had my khakis from about four years old ... I loved seeing how Steve was able to inspire people, and Bindi and her family have kept that inspiration going.”
