Penrith winger Brian To’o married his partner Moesha in a traditional Samoan wedding ceremony on Thursday.
Many of his teammates were in attendance with Stephen Crichton and Sunia Turuva serving as two of his groomsmen and Jarome Luai bestowed the honour of To’o’s best man.
To’o was one of several high-profile players who opted to represent Samoa at this year’s Rugby League World Cup. He was joined by Luai who divulged the pair’s time in England during his best man’s speech.

“And if youse don’t know Brian To’o, this man has the stinkiest a–e I’ve ever been around. Stinkiest, and he’s proud of it.

“Chill, chill, chill,” Luai said.
“Nah, I was joking.
“I’m about to get a hiding.”
In a post to his Instagram story on Friday, Luai apologised for his “disrespectful” speech.
“Just wanna apologise for the words I spoke last night at my brother’s wedding and how ashamed I am for embarrassing both families and my own,” he wrote.
“The excitement of the occasion definitely got the better of me and I took it too far.
“Not much I can do about it now but be a man about this mistake and learn from it.
“Apologies to everyone I’ve disrespected. This is something I will always regret.
“Love you guys (To’o and his wife).”
The newlyweds live-streamed their ceremony on YouTube before Moesha went live on her Instagram, filming the wedding party driving between venues in golf carts.
A TikTok video also showed the pair’s crazy dance moves as they entered their reception.

The new deal ties him to the club until the end of 2024.
