Irwin, 21, and Powell, 23, got engaged last summer following six years of dating. According to a touching Instagram post by Irwin, the engagement took place on her 21st birthday. 

“On my birthday I said ‘yes’ and ‘forever’ to the love of my life,” the caption reads. “Chandler, close to 6 years ago I fell in love with you and every day since has been a whirlwind of adventure and true happiness. I’m so looking forward to spending our forever together as your wife. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship, purpose and unconditional love. — Now let’s get married already!”

The pair met in 2013 when Powell visited Australia as part of a national wakeboarding competition. According to People, the two first laid eyes on each other when Irwin gave him and his group a tour of Australia Zoo and ”hit it off right away.”

“It just so happened that Bindi was giving tours that day,” Powell told the publication of their first meeting. “I’m like, ‘Wow she is amazing.’”
