The unanswered question from Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell’s wedding day – after the wildlife warrior revealed she had yet to reach a major milestone
It’s not uncommon for a bride to have a glass of champagne or two (and perhaps even a few more than that) on her wedding day.
But did Bindi Irwin observe this time-honoured tradition when she married her husband, Chandler Powell, last month?
The 21-year-old conservationist is a well-known teetotaller and it’s believed that Chandler, 23, also doesn’t touch alcohol.
Mystery: It’s not uncommon for a bride to have a glass of champagne on her wedding day… but did Bindi Irwin observe this tradition when she married Chandler Powell last month?
The couple’s wedding was featured in an episode of Crikey! It’s the Irwins, but they weren’t shown celebrating their union with a tipple.
While they may have toasted to their marriage off camera, it’s also possible their wedding was an alcohol-free affair.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Australia Zoo for comment.

The daughter of Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin has previously said she doesn’t drink, which is unsurprising given her family’s squeaky clean image.
She told The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2016 that she hadn’t touched alcohol before, and was unlikely to try champagne on her 18th birthday.
‘I haven’t [tried alcohol]. I am so wild that I haven’t even had Coca-Cola before. Can you believe that? I wanted to see how long I can go without it,’ she said.
‘I might have some Coca-Cola on my 18th but I’m gonna see,’ she said. ‘I’m going to see if I’m that crazy!
‘My mum [Terri Irwin] always says, “I look at you and it’s like I’ve trapped this 86-year-old inside a 17-year-old’s body.”‘
She told WHO magazine in 2014 that the closest she had ever come to an act of rebellion was drinking coffee at a music festival aged 16.
Bindi explained that she had called her mother, Terri, to confess she’d ‘drank a mocha’ at Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay.
‘Mum always said try to avoid too much caffeine,’ she said. ‘I called mum up and I go, “I’m so sorry!” I felt so bad’.
Bindi and Chandler, a professional wakeboarder from Florida, married at Australia Zoo, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, on March 25.
They made the ‘difficult decision’ to have no guests present to keep the community safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
However, there was a small crew from Animal Planet present to film the ceremony, which later aired in the U.S. on April 18.
