Story Behind Love Locks
The origin of the tradition is not actually known to anyone. There are different theories, like some say that it originated in China, while some others say that it began in the WWI when a Serbian girl died due to heartbreak when her fiancé fell in love with another girl in Greece. To protect themselves from the same destiny, young Serbian girls started fixing padlocks on the bridge, where the lovers once met, to keep their love safe before their partners went to war.
Another belief says that Frederico Moccia invented the tradition. Actually, he himself says that he invented it in his book “I want you” when Gin and Step lock their love on Rome’s Milvian Bridge.
Should You Do the Same?
Well, there are plans in many cities to remove love padlocks and some already have removed them because it’s supposed that these bridges may collapse due to the weight of the locks.
But you don’t need to shy away from this lovely tradition. Just instead of locking your love on a bridge or gate with hundreds and thousands of other locks where you are not sure when it will be removed or destroyed, why not lock it to a safe place like your own gate, fence, drawer knob or similar and throw away the key? This way the beautiful padlocks will always remain before your eyes.
Lock your love and enjoy the feeling of love in your heart forever!
