Amanda Knox stirs controversy again with wedding request

Amanda Knox is once again stirring up all kinds of emotions.

The 32-year-old American journalist and best-selling author made headlines last week after she asked her near 41,000 Twitter followers for donations for her upcoming wedding.

A romantic, smart and somewhat bold idea, for sure. The only potentially headscratching problem with the wedding crowdsourcing is that the couple had already gotten married in December 2018, according to her marriage certificate, found through an official records search on the website of Kings County, Wash.

On July 20, the podcast host announced she would tie the knot with Robinson, her “novelist, futurist, poet” fiance, linking the story to the registry site for the couple’s galactic-themed wedding.

It’s not uncommon for couples to get officially married at City Hall first, and then later plan and throw a wedding party.

The only issue with the Seattle-native — who became famous for being convicted and then acquitted by Italian police for the 2007 murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy — was her timing.

While the wedding was scheduled for Feb. 29, 2020, the two got officially hitched on Dec. 7, 2018.

According to the Daily Beast, after the commotion caused by their initial request, the couple changed the wording on the website: from asking people to help paying for the wedding, it now states that they are accepting donations.

“Let’s face it, we don’t need any more stuff. So please, no gifts, and no pressure. But if you feel so inclined, we welcome help putting on the best party ever for our family and friends,” a page on Knoxrobinson.com says.

“Instead of a traditional registry, we’re accepting donations towards the cost of the wedding.”
