It’s not exactly the place you’d expect couples to tie the knot, but in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Contra Costa County offered up this classic car museum for couples to start their engines and say 'I do.'
The county has offered destination Valentine's Day weddings in previous years, including some at the top of Mt. Diablo and at the John Muir House in Martinez. Two deputy commissioners of civil marriages were on hand Tuesday, taking turns presiding at the podium set before massive cases of hundreds of toy cars.
"He loves cars, so I thought it was really convenient right on Valentine's Day; it's perfect," said Quares, who got a bit emotional during their ceremony."We finally tied the knot and we've been through a lot together, so ... don't make me cry!" Emily Lambert, Cobra Experience's managing director, said someone from the county came through the museum a few years back and decided it would be a great spot for the civil ceremonies, but then COVID hit and the idea was shelved. Cobra Experience was co-founded by Lambert's father Drew Serb, who started rebuilding, selling and collecting Cobras in the mid-1970s. Some of the cars belong to Serb and the Experience, some are on loan. Nearly all of them are from local owners.
