“Adventure of a lifetime”: Terri Irwin’s emotional tribute to Steve Irwin
Terri Irwin has shared an emotional tribute to late husband Steve, on what would’ve been their 32nd wedding anniversary.
Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" passed away in 2006 at the age of 44 when a string ray barb penetrated his chest while he was filming at The Great Barrier Reef.
"It was 32 years ago today that Steve & I said 'I do' and began the adventure of a lifetime!" she wrote in an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, alongside a photo of the couple embracing while Terri held a Joey.
Terri Irwin, a wildlife expert herself, married Steve Irwin in 1992, getting engaged just four months after meeting Steve for the first time at Australia Zoo.
Steve and Terri Irwin share two children, Bindi and Robert Irwin, and their two kids have also dedicated posts to their parents.
"Happy Anniversary to my incredible parents. I love you both beyond description," she shared on Instagram, with a photo of her parents crouched down taking a photograph.
Robert shared a photo of his parents with a snake wrapped around their neck with a caption, "It was 32 years ago today that my mum and dad got married… Special day."
Fans were quick to send their messages of love and support.
“What a love story,” one fan wrote.
“The most beautiful love story ever! Happy anniversary, Steve and Terri,” another wrote.
“God bless you Terri and your beautiful family and carrying on Steve’s legacy. We were at your zoo last month — so, so special. Felt Steve all over there,” a third commented.
