"I had just crossed the finish line and I was super tired but full of joy! My mind wasn’t completely on earth…I was a marathoner! Then I saw Fabio, I was so happy to see him. We hugged and he congratulated me, asking if I was okay," she says.
She continues: "Then he told me that we were about to do a photo together. I prepared with a thumbs up, but then I saw him taking something out from his pocket and going on his knees. When he opened the box I realized [what was happening]. I started laughing, and I said 'Yes' and kissed him. My heart was exploding with joy. It was an unforgettable day!"
In a TikTok video of the proposal, Cerutti pulled out a blue ring box as Migliorini stood beside him catching her breathe.
