A gymnast who suffered a severe leg injury accomplished her goal of walking down the aisle at her wedding.
She posted photos of her wedding at the Trey Wood at Fairhope Yacht Club in Alabama on Instagram.
The gymnast dislocated both knees and tore ligaments in both legs during a competition in April.
Immediately after her traumatic landing, Cerio thought something was a “little wrong” before she saw her legs. She had dislocated both knees.
“I could feel my pass was off by just a little… usually even if they feel off, I can get through,” she added.
After having surgery, she said she wanted to recover enough in time to walk down the aisle at the ceremony.
“I know I’m going to do everything in my power to make it happen,” she said in regards to her pending marriage.
Cerio used crutches to cross the stage at her graduation in May. She earned a degree in aerospace engineering.
This week, Cerio finally walked down the aisle free of crutches to marry fiancé Trey Wood.
Despite her injury, Cerio said she is looking forward to the future.
“I’m really excited just because I have so many positive things coming up. I mean, this is a small setback, but it’s… just another thing to get through,” she added. “Even though that was my last gymnastics meet, everything we do, everything I have done and trained for Auburn has always been for my team. Just knowing that I have their support behind me 100 percent… that’s always helped me.”
