Christian McCaffrey Officiates Surprise Wedding During 49ers Bye Week
The star running back took on the unexpected role of officiant with minimal notice.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey unexpectedly served as a wedding officiant during his team's bye week. The surprise ceremony occurred with just two hours' notice.
McCaffrey's wife, Olivia Culpo, shared photos on her Instagram story that documented the event. One image showed McCaffrey dressed in a black shirt and hat, bearing the word "Minister," while holding a large book. Culpo captioned this post, "Thank you reverend! @christianmccaffrey."
Initially, the images might have suggested a Halloween costume, but Culpo's subsequent posts confirmed it was a real wedding ceremony. She revealed that the bride, Erika Shay, had given them only two hours' notice to prepare. The caption for this post read, "In typical @erikashay style, she gave us 2 hours notice to pull this off. Congratulation Tim and Erika!!!" McCaffrey was seen wearing the same attire and holding the book during the ceremony.
A final post from Culpo showed a golf cart decorated with a "Just Married" banner, further affirming that the event was a genuine wedding. McCaffrey, known for his preparedness on the football field, appeared to rise to the occasion of his last-minute officiant duties.
