"There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now. We've planned this beautiful date for nearly a year and had to change everything, as we didn't have guests at our wedding. This was a very difficult decision but important to keep everyone safe."

She explained that it was their wish that all their friends and family members were there to share in their joy.

"However, it's lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos," she wrote.

The teenager has just passed his driving test. In fact, he managed to take his first drive alone in his father's old truck.

The internet loves it.

Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration to those who knew him.

The Australian zookeeper was often called "The Crocodile Hunter." He was also an accomplished conservationist and TV personality.

Production of documentaries like The Crocodile Hunter and The Croc Files gave him a lot of fame.

Through him, a lot of people were introduced to the natural world.

His passion and excitement with wildlife and nature were unmatched. He could handle vicious creatures such as saltwater crocodiles.

He also dealt with snakes from many parts of the world.

However, his goal was not to show off his daredevil skills but to teach us to live peacefully with nature even though we had to put up with these intimidating wild creatures.

He did more for wildlife conservation than most people could ever imagine.

Through his efforts, the Wildlife Warriors Worldwide foundation came to be. The organization protects animals and habitats, and it also helps establish breeding and rescue programs for endangered animal species.

The organization also takes part in scientific research to aid environmental and wildlife conservation.

His most notable accomplishment was his ownership of Australia Zoo, which is located in Queensland, Australia. The zoo looks into new ways of conserving endangered and extinct animal species.

Other great people have admired Steve's work, including fellow wildlife hero, Sir David Attenborough. The legend has on many occasions expressed his admiration of Steve Irwin.

David explained that Steve had spent a lot of his money and time on the protection of nature. Steve also drew people's attention to the dangers facing the natural world.

Apparently, he did it in a way David couldn't.

Steve seemed to have a way with animals, and he was a total delight to watch.

His work was the reason his untimely death back in 2006 was such a huge blow. Steve died tragically while doing what he did best.

At the time, he was in Batt Reef, which is off the coast of Queensland, Australia. He was filming the documentary, Oceans Deadliest when he was stabbed by a stingray.

The vicious creature hit him many times.

Usually, stingray deaths are rare. Unfortunately, this particular stingray stabbed Irwin right in the heart.

Although the crew got Steve into a boat and took him to the shore, he bled too much and died at that scene.

After his demise, he left behind his wife, Terri, and their two kids, Bindi and Robert.

At that point, Terri was left to raise the two kids alone. In an interview, she recalled how they waved him for the last time at the airstrip.

Terri decided to keep her husband's legacy alive.

Obviously, this is what Steve would have wanted. To date, the three are working at Australia Zoo, which demonstrates their commitment to animal conservation.

They also try to bring awareness to the issues that Steve cared about.

There is no disputing that his kids are just like him.

Fourteen years later, his kids are devoted wildlife conservationists. On top of that, their resemblance to their late dad is unmissable.

Bindi is now 22, and she already has a kid. Robert just turned 17, and they have kept their father's legacy alive in the best ways imaginable through their love for wildlife conservation.

Thanks to their devotion, their dad now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Steve got the honor back in 2018, with Terri, Bindi, and Robert attending the event. They were wearing khaki safari shirts, and they also brought with them Angelica, their 4-feet pet Anaconda.

However, Robert resembles his father the most.

At the time his father died, he was only 2. So, he has spent most of his life without him.

However, he not only looks like him, but also has his charisma and love for wildlife and nature.

A lot of people remember when he appeared on the Jimmy Fallon Show.
