Lisa McCaffrey, mother of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, stole the spotlight at her son's wedding with a viral TikTok dance performance alongside NFL stars.
The glamorous nuptials of San Francisco 49ers superstar Christian McCaffrey and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo were a star-studded affair, but it was McCaffrey's mother, Lisa, who captured the internet's attention with her energetic dancing.
In a viral TikTok video posted to Culpo's account, Lisa is seen busting a move with former NFL linebacker Luke Kuechly, McCaffrey's ex-Carolina Panthers teammate, and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. The trio twirled and grooved to the infectious rhythms of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September," igniting cheers from the surrounding crowd.

Lisa's dance moves impressed not only the attendees but also her daughter-in-law, Culpo, who couldn't help but gush over her mother-in-law's performance, captioning the video, "best MIL [mother-in-law] in the world!!!"
The mother-son duo also showcased their comedic chops in another TikTok from the wedding festivities. The video featured Culpo pretending to feed Lisa a magnum bottle of champagne, reminiscent of a memorable scene from the 2009 comedy "The Hangover."

Culpo's close relationship with her mother-in-law was evident throughout the wedding weekend. Prior to the ceremony, Culpo surprised Lisa with a social media post revealing that she had purchased her a suite for Super Bowl LVIII as a birthday gift. However, McCaffrey later revealed that he had to intervene due to the exorbitant prices, which even their considerable wealth couldn't justify.
The McCaffrey-Culpo wedding has been subject to some social media controversy, with fashion influencer Kennedy Bingham, known as Gown Eyed Girl, expressing her disapproval of Culpo's modest wedding dress.

"I have never said this before, but I do not like this wedding dress," Bingham proclaimed in a video posted to her platform.
McCaffrey swiftly defended his wife's choice, calling the post "evil," while Culpo referred to Bingham as a "bizarre person."
"I never felt more beautiful than when I was in my ceremony dress and under my veil – I really wanted the simplicity of each component to harmonize perfectly," Culpo told Vogue.
Despite the minor social media hiccup, the newlyweds appear to be blissfully in love and focused on their future together. McCaffrey had a stellar 2023 NFL season, earning his third Pro Bowl selection after amassing a career-best 1,459 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, and seven receiving touchdowns.
As the two stars embark on their new chapter as husband and wife, the memory of Lisa McCaffrey's infectious dance moves will serve as a testament to the joy and camaraderie that filled their unforgettable wedding celebration.
