AnnaLynne McCord and her fiancé, Danny Cipriani, launched a crowdfunding campaign to help cover the costs of their upcoming wedding.
A HuneyFund fundraising site for the soon-to-be newlyweds confirms that they will tie the knot in Los Angeles on October 22 — and they’ve taken a unique approach with their wedding registry.
Instead of listing potential gifts, the Days of Our Lives actress, 39, and her international rugby star beau, 38, are crowdsourcing costs associated with the nuptials. For example, they are asking for $100 to go towards their marriage license or $125 to contribute to music for their reception.
Among the high-dollar items on McCord and Cipriani’s wedding registry include paying $600 each for their wedding cake or floral arrangements, as well as the same amount for wedding venue construction. They have asked for $250 to go towards the reception’s catering and $200 for beverages.
Anyone interested in contributing can also give $300 to help pay for the wedding photographer or put $500 towards their rehearsal dinner.
“Help us create our dream wedding and honeymoon experience with any amount of donation,” they wrote on their registry.
Us has reached out to McCord’s spokesperson for comment.
In April, McCord revealed to People that Cipriani had popped the question on Christmas Day 2025 in front of her whole family.
“I cried for 10 minutes straight,” McCord recalled. “At some point, I realized I had to answer. I said, ‘Yes, but I can’t even speak,’ and he replied, ‘That’s OK, it’s actually a good sign that you are quiet for once.’ Then, we’re all laughing.”
McCord shared that she was initially planning to propose to the athlete last year before her siblings “strongly discouraged” her from doing so.
“It occurred to me that I should just propose to him and I told my sisters. Both really questioned this choice, and they strongly discouraged it,” she said. “I decided to tell him that was my plan, but then the look on his face convinced me not to, and he fessed up and told me he had plans to propose to me on our upcoming trip to Cambodia.”
Cipriani’s plans ultimately changed as he opted for a festive proposal with a 15-carat, emerald-cut diamond with seven round accent diamonds set in the band.
McCord and Cipriani originally dated from 2016 to 2020. In May 2024, the 90210 alum exclusively confirmed to Us that she’d recently gotten back together with the rugby player.
“I wasn’t looking for it at all. It kind of found me,” she told Us about her feelings for Cipriani. “It’s the most unlikely situation ever because I was with this person on and off for four years, and we were two shadows matching the shadow of the other person.”
She added, “Now we’re together and it’s new, but we are both showing up for ourselves in life. And because we can show up for ourselves, we’re matching each other on every level and we’re having painful conversations of where we were, because they’re honest and they’re real and I wouldn’t want anything else.”
Prior to her engagement to Cipriani, McCord dated Twilight’s Kellan Lutz from 2008 to 2010 and later was with Prison Break star Dominic Purcell from 2011 to 2014.
