We all know Wales are into the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.

And we probably know by now that's caused a bit of a headache for defender Chris Gunter.

The Reading man is due to be brother Marc's best man on Friday, but Wales' success at Euro 2016 means he is missing the ceremony in Mexico.

Instead, the 26-year-old will perform his duties via Skype.

So we asked the red army in France for some tips for their hero.

Get a decent internet connection

Adam Knowles has been following Wales from the very start of Euro 2016 - travelling to and from games.

"Gunter's gonna be delivering the best man speech via Skype but he's gonna need to log onto to Wi-Fi otherwise he's gonna have a massive 3G bill to pay when he gets home," says the 23-year-old.

"I wouldn't be doing it in the changing room either because there could be absolute scenes behind him on the call."

Don't mention the stag do

Adam's brother Evan is keen that Chris Gunter doesn't mention the night before.

That's traditionally the stag do - although we think this may have happened some weeks ago.

"Just don't bring up the stag do Chris," he says. "What happens on the stag, stays on the stag."

Get your priorities right

Craig Minton is also out in Lyon getting ready to support his county in their semi-final against Portugal.

"We just want to make sure Chris Gunter gets across to his brother how important Wales is," he says.

"Welsh football comes before anything else."

Keep it Mexican-themed

Evan Williams, 21, wants Chris Gunter to have a theme to his best man's speech.

We see where he's going here.

"Look, even if Chris was Speedy Gonzales he wouldn't make it to the wedding on time," he says.

"I would also hope he's going to wear a sombrero, eat a few tacos and perform a Mexican wave."

Organise the first dance

Many would argue this is the most important duty a best man could fulfil.

If you're reading Chris - take note.

Gareth Dainton suggests Joe Ledley should organise the first dance.

"He'd be epic - we all saw what he's capable of," he says.
