Chris Gunter's parents have taken the agonising decision to miss the wedding of their other son Marc in order to watch Wales' historic Euro 2016 semi-final against Portugal.

The Wales defender revealed the unfortunate clash has "caused chaos" in the Gunter family, with the Wales star himself now set to perform his best man duties via Skype.

Gunter's brother Marc and his fiancee Danielle are in Mexico ahead of the ceremony on Thursday. The Wales star and parents, Sarah and Gerald, had planned to fly out and join them, but the remarkable events of Friday night mean they will now remain in France.

Chris said: “Mum is a bit upset at having to choose. It has caused chaos," he told the Mirror.

“You couldn’t begin to imagine the trouble it’s caused. I’m not sure what Marc will do if we make the final. He might be divorced by then.”

Marc has been among the thousands of Welsh fans supporting the side in France during the past few weeks but left last week to fly to Cancun.

Chris said: "Speak to my parents and they're fuming. It's Marc's own fault. He's been to every game and hasn't been at work for a month."

The wedding was planned earlier this year when the idea of Wales being in the semi-final seemed little short of an impossibilty.

Gunter will tune into the wedding via Skype the day after the semi-final in order to deliver his best man speech.

Speaking previously about the potential problem that has become a reality, Chris said: "The other potential best man, Lee, has followed Wales for about 15 years and there is no way he will be in Mexico if we are still in it.

"The get-out for him was: 'I am doing what you are doing."'
