There was NO NEED whatsoever for them to get married without his family there. I don't know what religion they are but wonder if they didn't believe in premarital sex and they were just horny. If my son got married without me there, I would be outrageously hurt. They keep saying they just want to get married before the world changes, but wtf does that even mean? They have no issues with having to get married for citizenship issues or health insurance issues, they both have job security, etc.

It makes me really sad that Bidni seems to have zero girlfriends. None at all. She talks about the animals, and to her mom and that's ALL.

Well, that's kind of it, right? I find it hurtful as well, but....at the end of the day it's like, "wanna F*ck?" That's their thing.

They’ve been living in the same house on the same grounds for five years. They even briefly moved out to their own apartment for a short time.

Pretty sure the sex ship sailed long ago. Maybe they just didn’t want to wait a full year - his parents can’t even get a flight out of the country, let alone assurances they won’t get stuck or sick plus the costs of getting there.

Your adult child's wedding is not your personal stage for your attention seeking. If you don't have the type of relationship with your child where he or she would genuinely WANT to have you there, then you have no right to be there.

Sounds like Chandler's family put up a fuss. Second wedding to be held in Oregon.

But she was homeschooled and has certificates that give her less than an associate's degree. She's obsessed with her dead father. She LIVES at the zoo. Literally. I'm honestly relieved she wore a wedding dress instead of that khaki crap she and her brother are always wearing. She never travels anywhere without her mother. I hope she goes on a honeymoon.

It's lovely to keep your dead parent's memory alive and be close with family. But you NEVER see this very public girl with any similarly aged girlfriends. The whole thing is just weird as hell.

Wow, nasty much?

She's had more life experience than most people twice her age. And although she was homeschooled, she's got a great "hands-on" business education also she's also travelled all over the world promoting their shows, the zoo, and Australia. She's well prepared for life.

She was never going to be a rocket scientist or a lawyer. She loves what she does and she's very good at it. They make enough money and she looks happy. Why do you think you have the right to judge her?

1. Everyone has the right to judge everyone else.
2. When you put yourself in the public eye, you open yourself up to judgment.

When I saw Bindi Irwin’s post, the last thing that would’ve occurred to my would’ve been her education level.

PP here. The snobs on here can’t possibly imagine that people can enjoy their lives without a master’s degree or even a bachelor’s degree.

This only seems weird if you are in our DCUM bubble where you are a "kid" until a year.or 2 after college. If you are 24 and have been supporting yourself since 18 you are not a kid by 25. You are often exhausted but not immature

Then again I know folks who happily got married after 2y of law school and while in medical school that are still going strong at about 24-25. It's not my ideal but their are hardly children!

That’s one downside for me of living in an overachieving area. I value education but I have no patience for spoiled children/adults. I cannot stand the mentality that kids at 20 are “children.” Where I grew up, most kids by 20 were either in the military, driving to college classes from their own apartment, or other. In my mind if kids can’t survive a weekend alone in the house by hs they aren’t ready for life. I’m not going to fully fund college for my kids and they know that (they are young). I read on the college forum and the number of parents who said their kids are sitting home doing nothing was cringeworthy. My kid would be at a grocery store six days a week the summer after college if they couldn’t yet find a job, and they’d be frantically applying to jobs. Flame away.

The ‘snobs’ were right.

Even Bindi admits her rushed wedding ceremony was horrible and clearly it was a mistake to not have his parents. One she would have made if she wasn’t just 21? Doubt it.

The pandemic is making lots of people make weird or hard decisions.

I've never heard of this magazine before but I sure hope it's accurate. Seems like she's looking into pulling a Megan Markle. Well, I guess Chandler would be The Megan in this scenario, but still.

Dp. I think there are lots of ways to raise kids and your way isnt the only way. Not every person matures in the same way at the same rate.

My kids applied for jobs but the process is taking longer. If we didnt have covid19 I would agree with you about jobs and older teens. However, we are living in a pandemic and I dont want my kids to get it and pass it along to us.

One is working at a restaurant and the other a grocery store. If they don't feel safe doing that then its definitely not safe to do in-person schooling which people are championing for (even hybrid), college or k-12, this fall.

I think that one gives pause because we really don't know if Bindi was given the opportunity to explore what she was interested in. It was all about the zoo and her Dad. Same with actors who seem to push their children into acting. I think it is fine to expose them but, I think both her parents put a lot of pressure on her to perform and even more so when Steve died.

Are you religious? Not being rude, genuinely curious. I know a lot of very religious and well educated people, esp. LDS, and many married shortly after undergrad and were married in grad school.

DP. My recently graduated (from a top west coast school) 22 year old niece is getting married this summer to a guy working on his PhD in physics. She is from an atheist family. It’s really not that unusual. I know lots of people who met their spouse in undergrad.

She’s a wonderful young woman and does wonders for wildlife and keeping her fathers passion going. She has more intelligence and worldliness then half of you idiots on here. I’m truly amazed how old and bitter half of you are on here, it’s just sad.

I think it's sad to never pursue your OWN passion. She just took on her dad's and is running with it. Maybe she'd like to do something else. But she won't know that because she doesn't pursue other things (besides DWTS). She knows a lot about animals and running a zoo. I doubt she knows much about many other things.

Give me a break. Do you think its most people's passion to work a dead end job? They do it to pay the bills. Feeling sorry for Bindi is the height of privilege. A lot of people would love to have the type of opportunities she has had.

Seriously, less than 1% of people have jobs they truly feel passionate about. And I would beg Bindi enjoys her job more than most of us.

I used to be a zookeeper, and yea, it's pretty much the most awesome job ever. Everyone who leaves (myself included) regrets it.
