His brother Marc is due to be married in Mexico this Thursday, although he will still deliver the best man speech via Skype.
It's left the brothers parents having to choose loyalties between sons and it now means that Chris won't be the only family member missing the big occasion.
Sarah and Gerald Gunter simply cannot miss the biggest game in Wales history on Wednesday, when they take on Portugal in Lyon.
Chris, 26, told the : “Mum is a bit upset at having to choose. It has caused chaos.
“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.”

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."
Chris may have given his parents a tough test but the biggest test for the defender will be stopping Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday evening.
