Chris, 26, told the : “Mum is a bit upset at having to choose. It has caused chaos.

The wedding was planned earlier this year so perhaps brother Marc and his wife-to-be Danielle didn't have much faith in Chris and his team mates reaching this stage of the Euros.

However Marc has been in among the pandemonium of  thousands of Welsh supporters in France but  will be leaving earlier than the rest to prepare for his wedding.

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.

Tickets for the quarter- final against Belgium were hard to come by in Lille due to only being 15 miles from the Belgian border.

Eurostar and Eurotunnel have reported that there has been a huge rise in bookings for the next two days.
