Amanda Knox is getting married in 40 days — and she’s wearing her trusty old “prison uniform” to prepare for it.
In anInstagram post shared on Sunday, the 32-year-old ex-convict, who was wrongfully convicted and then exonerated for the 2007 murder of roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, Knox wrote, “40 days left until the wedding and 267 tasks left on the wedding To Do list.”
Knox continued, “I’ve locked myself in the craftroom and I’m wearing my old prison uniform in Casa Circondariale Capanne, Perugia.”
Over the summer, Knox and her fiancéChristopher Robinsonraised eyebrows with a new wedding website where the couple asked for donations to help crowd-fund their space-themed wedding celebration.
“Let’s face it, we don’t need any more stuff,” she and Robinson wrote on theregistryportion of the site. “What we do need is help putting on the best party ever for our family and friends!”

“Instead of a traditional registry, we are asking for donations towards the cost of the wedding,” they wrote. “Whether you’re attending or not, all are welcome to donate to specific costs, or at a patron level.” The registry also says that everyone who donates will receive a signed, limited edition copy ofThe Cardio Tesseract, the couple’s joint book of love poems.
Knox was an American student studying abroad in Perugia in 2007 when she wasaccused of killing herroommate Meredith Kercher, 21, who was found half-naked with her throat cut in her bedroom.
Knox, who was 20 at the time of the slaying, and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were both convicted in the murder. Prosecutors alleged the crime had taken place during a sex game run amok, though hard evidence against the young couple was scant.

In 2011, Knox and Sollecito werefreed after four years in prison after an appeals court acquitted them. However, the pair were convicted again in absentia in 2013 before being acquitted again in 2015.
