Chelsea Carone, 33, and Matthew Cooke, 32, first met at a surf shop party in Bird Rock, but they didn’t start dating until they crossed paths again at the San Luis Obispo Craft Beer Festival. After a proposal in Bird Rock, the couple celebrated their marriage at an estate in Carlsbad for an entire six-day stretch, where they had a beach day and barbecue with friends the night before the reception.
