The NRL wedding for Penrith and Bulldogs star Stephen Crichton that was so big it forced an international Test series to be DELAYED because so many players were in attendance

NRL superstar Stephen Crichton has married his high school sweetheart in a dream ceremony with plenty of tears, laughter and dancing at a reception full of Samoan traditions.

The three-time NRL premiership winner with the Penrith Panthers and current Canterbury Bulldogs star tied the knot with Leone Seumanu Lauafia Crichton in front of a host of NRL stars.

There were so many footy players in attendance that wedding actually forced the international Test series between England and Samoa to be delayed because so many representatives from Toa Samoa had already planned to be at the wedding.

The two-match series was postponed by a week and will now kick off on October 27 to give players plenty of time to travel and prepare for the fixtures.

Penrith coach Ivan Cleary was at the ceremony and reception along with Panthers players Jarome Luai, Scott Sorensen, Moses Leota, Izack Tago and Sunia Turuva to name a few.

Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo was also spotted along with players including Kurt Morrin and Harry Hayes.

Panthers winger Brian To’o was best man for the day while Roosters prop and former Penrith star Spencer Leniu was also in the bridal party.

The reception was one for the ages, with both Crichton and Leone dressing in traditional Samoan attire and performing traditional dances for the friends and family in attendance.

The couple were showered with cash, with notes pressed against their body and then collected from the floor to help them get off to the best start in married life.
