The truth about the romance between serial killer Charles Manson and is his fiance, Afton Elaine Burton, has been exposed.

We can all breath a collective sigh of relief and stop questioning how a serial killer can get married and your gay best friend can't because the wedding between Charles Manson and his much younger bride-to-be has been called off...and it's not because their marriage license expired last Thursday.

According to journalist Daniel Simone, Burton, also known as Star, allegedly wanted to marry Manson for his corpse. Her plan was to put him on display in a glass crypt as a tourist attraction in California. Ha, that's insane, even for a guy like Manson.

Manson got wind of the plot and cancelled the wedding; but that wasn't the only reason. Manson has this theory that he's immortal and will never die, so it was just a stupid idea to begin with.

Looks like I'll be returning that dip and chip server shaped like a cowboy boot back to Bed, Bath & Beyond.
