Auburn gymnast Samantha Cerio, who suffered severe injuries to her legs during a competition, made good on her promise.
She posted photos of her wedding at the Trey Wood at Fairhope Yacht Club in Alabama on Instagram.
Several weeks ago, Cerio cautioned other people not to share the viral clip of her injury, saying it wasn’t for their entertainment.
“I think it’s made people more aware of what they see on the internet,'' she told Today.com. ”When you see something like that, you kind of want to watch it just to see what happens, because you’re curious about it, but at the same time, you don’t think about the people that it could impact.”
Immediately after the injury, Cerio thought something was a “little wrong” before she looked at her legs. “I could feel my pass was off by just a little… usually even if they feel off I can get through,” she added.
“Then that’s when I saw what had happened, that’s when like the pain kind of started to set in and it got worse,” Cerio continued.
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.”
