Similarly, Robert shared a cute Australia Zoo couples photo with the caption, “Happy wedding anniversary Mum and Dad. Forever my biggest inspirations ❤️”

On her personal Twitter, Terri responded to her children’s gorgeous messages with meaningful words of her own.

“It makes me happy to remember this special day,” she wrote to Bindi.

“It’s been an incredible 31 years since that special day,” she wrote to Robert.

Commenters flocked to both posts to express their condolences for the siblings, while also sharing the impact the late Steve had on their lives.

“Your dad was the reason I love animals and have adopted them throughout my life,” one wrote.

To celebrate the “soulmate” connection between herself and the crocodile hunter, Terri also shared a post of her own on Twitter.

“It was 31 years ago today that Steve asked, and I said “Yes!”. We were soulmates, best friends, and worked together on a mission of wildlife conservation. Best of all we had lots of fun!” she wrote.

Through their work at Australia Zoo, the Irwin family continue to honour Steve every day.
