My boyfriend made me a special present. Thank you so much!
A new tradition in Munich:
Sweethearts affix a "Love padlock" to a railing of a Isar bridge to symbolize their love. First locking a padlock and then throwing away the key into the Isar river. The padlocks will hang there forever - i hope.
On the padlocks are the names of the lovers or even important dates - engraved or written with a permanent marker.
Our Love padlock is attached to the Wittelsbacher Bridge. Isn't it a lovingly tradition? I've found out that the Love padlock custom is practised all over the world! The origin is unclear.
