A friend of mine gave me an idea to post these photos of wedding locks.

That's right. Wedding locks or love padlocks or Love Locks, whatever...
This tradition is popular in Moscow for quite some time as well.
We've got a bridge, across the Vodootvodny Canal, with special iron trees on it for these locks in the center of the city. These trees are completely covered in locks. A lot of young couples go there on their wedding day to lock up their locks. One lock for each couple is enough ))
According their beliefs after locking up a lock their love will be ageless.
Moreover these trees are periodically replaced with new ones. Because of no place for new locks

The bridge


These trees have already been taken out of the bridge.
