Amanda Knox has left her traumatic past behind, and wants you to help her move light years into the future with a space-themed wedding. Yes, you read that correctly.
ICYMI – and you might be the only one – Knox spent four years in an Italian prison after she was convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate and fellow exchange student Meredith Kercher. In 2011, after a very public trial and plenty of controversy, Knox was acquitted because of “stunning flaws” in the investigation.
Knox, who is now 32 years old, has gone on to become a best-selling author, activist and journalist. She’s also in the midst of planning her wedding to fiance Christopher Robinson, and wants your help.
The pair have created a crowdfunding page asking for funds from family and friends to help pay for their space-themed wedding, which will include a “time traveller’s headquarters,” “spacetime decor,” costumes, paradox props, black lights and fog machines.
The Knox Robinson Registry website states that because the couple had to recently return to Italy for the Innocence Project’s wrongful convictions event, they had to spend all their wedding funds on “this challenging and important journey.”
“Now we’re asking for help so that we can shower our friends and family with love and celebration!”
In exchange, those who donate will receive a signed, limited edition copy of The Cardio Tesseract, which is the couple’s “joint book of love poems.”
The poems are pretty intense, as well. Here’s a snippet from one called ‘She Wishes For Rapper Chains’: “Had I the dopest Cuban link chains, iced out with diamonds and lemonade gold, not some hollowed-out dookie rope chains, I’m talking five solid kilos of gold, I would hang those chains around your neck.”
