Bindi Irwin Is Engaged

Pearlee — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 23:40:52 GMT

Gosh, she's 21 yrs old and has been dating the guy for almost six years (making her around 15 when they met!). It's actually a sweet story. Chandler Powell is from Florida and was visiting Australia when he decided to go to the Australia zoo. He hit it off with Bindi right away. He said that she gave a tour then and he was blown away by how terrific she was. He moved to Australia and has lived at the family zoo with them. He proposed on Bindi's 21st birthday (and came up with a hefty diamond ring!) Chandler is 22 yrs old.

Text I just wrote is from multiple sources I read online today, including People. The photo is from the CNN online site.

Is it just me, or do they look alike? I loved Bindi on Dancing With the Stars.

Beautiful ring. Ovals seem to be popular now.

About the ring----

The photo and text are from Yahoo Lifestyle: (I see another posted photo of ring while my photo was still loading). The text is worth reading though!

Beautiful oval cut. It's a lab-created diamond!

"Romantic pick

Now, details have emerged about the sparkler Chandler gifted his longtime love, which is estimated to have cost the 22-year-old up to AU$70,000.

"For those wondering about my ring, I'm so happy to share," Bindi wrote to her fans on Instagram.

"My ring features a lab grown diamond and is made with rose gold recycled metal. Chandler was incredibly thoughtful when he chose it.

“The ring captures the essence of who I am (with its vintage flare) and our life together with the twisted band and scattered diamonds."

He should have checked the Diamonique inventory.

I'd never pay that for a lab-created diamond!

Many times young love/marriage works out just fine.

Especially when one or both spouse(s) have fairly secure employment.

I've seen it happen.

It's probably very nice to marry your 'first love'.

Love her engagement ring..........'A little pricey' for a lab grown diamond, but who knows...........could possibly be that it didn't cost him/them 'that much'.

Sometimes companies give deals regarding future advertising, etc.

Good 'public relations' for a company.

'Anyway', wishing them the very best.

Very nice couple.

'Next thing we know', they might become vendors on the Q.

Maybe casual safari type of wear. For camping, hiking, etc.

I've always been fond of safari-type of clothing, especially camp shirts and vests with tons of pockets.

Well, be on the 'lookout'............Anything new on the Q can happen.

Bindi looks a lot like her dad. Hope this is a long and happy marriage.

ROMARY — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 00:30:22 GMT

p.s. I've always loved 'solitaire' engagement rings.......not a lot of large diamond accents on each side.

Oval is a beautiful shape, too.

Love rose tone metals, too.

'Chandler' sure is a handsome, impressive name, too.

Love that name!

@ROMARY You are probably right. Chandler may not have paid nearly the retail for that ring, esp. since the jeweler was aware the ring would get a lot of publicity. I hadn't thought of that.
