and evidently she is still alive, which is more than many of the *real* victims can claim...

I understand her motivation, and don't hold what her brother did against her, but certainly there are better ways to handle this -- scale back your expectations, Amber, and recognize that others lost far more than you.

She wins a dream honeymoon!!! Thank you Johnny Olson!

And thank you killers sister for playing "Whose brother is a murdering racist pyscho!!"

witfh???

"We know money cannot replace the wedding we lost and our perfect day" ...aaaaaaugh.

She certainly isn't responsible for his actions but it strikes me as somewhat more than a coincidence that this happened in such close proximity to her wedding.

No matter what this seems very callous and self centered to me. It might even speak to the upbringing she and her brother had.

This is one seriously messed up family.

bless her heart, the poor little thing.

Yes, people lost their children and parents in a hate filled massacre, but my wedding day was ruined, RUINED! !
If my brother had done that, honeymooning and self promoting internet pages would be the LAST thing on my mind right now.

...of the hideous losses others have suffered.

If she had even an ounce of self-awareness or compassion for others she would have gone into a period of very private mourning and have a very private wedding, and hope to God no one recognizes her on the street as being related to Dylann.

Maybe, just maybe, something can be salvaged from this fiasco, and not what she thinks. Maybe her fiance will reconsider what kind of woman he is engaged to, and run like hell.

She thinks the tragedy is that her wedding got ruined. Nine people die, yet it's all about her.

... mass murder committed by my own brother, by asking strangers for money.

How does that even enter your mind? Do you sit around thinking, 'Gee, how can I benefit from my brother's 9 murders?', or, 'Someone owes me for this?' ?????

What exactly goes through your mind to do something like that?

I know she's not guilty of her brother's crimes, but damn!

No one is saying she should shrivel up and die but a low profile for the sake of the dead and their families isn't exactly asking too much.

I know the media will be on the family's every move but to put yourself out there like that? To make yourself so conspicuous?

Tacky doesn't come close to describing it.

Just have a small, unadorned ceremony, and have a full one with all the trimmings when they can afford it again.

It seems someone gave them a clue.

but this is in extremely poor taste and makes me wonder if sociopathy runs in the Roof family

This campaign has been removed by the Campaign Organizer. Organizers have the ability to remove their campaigns whenever they choose.

it was removed due to the negative comments. My reaction to her GoFundMe appeal which I did not look at is: This violent event wasn't her fault but she isn't "entitled" to a big deal wedding. Get married before a Justice of the Peace and file this experience under "Shit Happens." Unlike the victims, she and her fiance are alive.

But it was ruined by too much talk of pesky black folks dying at the hands of her waste of sperm racist brother.

In as much the kid killed 9 people, his siblings are not responsible, they never knew what he was thinking. It is really sad especially with more churches being burned after the killings!

Let's put our heads together to fight effing racism in the South! How can we do that, I have no idea, just look at Trump and his racist comments and he gets a percentage higher than a normal person.l Just goes to show you that conservatives do not like progressives!

But, even if they didn't, even if his actions came as a total, out of left field surprise, expecting strangers to foot the bill for a wedding and honeymoon after people died is outrageous.

Lots of other people -- thankfully some of them same-sex now-- have had low-key weddings and no honeymoon at all, and been perfectly happy.

You want to know how to end racism? And not just in the South, because it's everywhere? Stop giving people a pass for stupid shit like this, for one thing. Want to stop Donald Trump? Stop going to his casinos, or staying in his hotels, or doing whatever it is that makes him money. Make it clear to the network that you refuse to watch any more of their shows, or buy anything from anyone who sponsors his show, if he's allowed to stay on.

Raise your children to accept people different from themselves. Raise them to respect themselves and others. Raise them to be able to think for themselves.

It's not perfect, but it's a start.

White priviledge is absolutely disgusting. She should be raising money to give to the victims families.

Let's hope there aren't more at home.
