Convicted murderer Charles Manson, 80, is slated to wed 26-year-old woman, Afton Elaine Burton, next month, according to a November 17, 2014 Associated Press report. Manson has been behind bars for over four decades for the murders of nine people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

USA Today reports that the marriage license was issued in Kings County, Calif. and confirmed with Dept. of Corrections spokesperson Jeffrey Callison it was obtained in the first week of November. Manson is serving a life sentence at Corcoran State Prison in Calif., so the ceremony will take place in the maximum-security facility.

The bride-to-be, Burton, told the AP she loves Manson and the wedding will take place. The media outlet also notes that both Burton and Manson have matching “X” carvings on their foreheads. Manson's “X,” however, was later turned into a swastika.

The AP further reports that because Manson has no parole date as an inmate sentenced to life, he is not entitled to marital or conjugal visits. This does not appear to have dissuaded Burton from going through with the marriage.

Burton has been working to help prove Manson’s innocence for almost a decade and noted that by becoming his wife, she can garner information that is not available to someone not related to him. She told the AP that there are certain things relatives can do, but did not go into details.

USA Today reports that Manson has been denied parole numerous times, but can reapply in 2027. This means Manson will be 93 when he is able to request another bid for release.
