What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSan Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey officiated a surprise wedding during the team's bye week, and he had two hours' notice, the New York Post reports.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd he showed up in a hat and a T-shirt that said Minister. That is credentialing, Hank.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is a man who read the dress code.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe bride's first post said, quote, Thank you reverend. Many people thought it was a Halloween costume.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA costume is a misunderstanding. What we saw was a fully prepared clergyman, and the massive book he was holding backs that up.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSorry. Somebody got married and a football player held the book. I'm fine.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, you're crying.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's the book. One fan said two hours' notice is light work for a guy who carries whole offenses. Whole offenses.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict: ten out of ten vows, and he stayed on schedule. That's a clean ceremony.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo hours' notice. I've had less notice for a rundown, and nobody ever called me reverend.
