Terri Irwin recently shared a heartwarming message reflecting on a sweet aspect of her daughter Bindi's wedding at the Australia Zoo last week.

"I know Steve would have worn khaki to Bindi & Chandler’s wedding, too," her message continued. "I wish he could have been there to see the most special day in his daughter’s life. We miss him so much."
