Three Muses--Lock and Key
I found out about this tradition from Abby's blog http://thevivere.blogspot.com/--a Russian tradition called LOCKS FOR LOVE. Here, bridges, fences and
sometimes trees are covered with different padlocks...heart shaped, house shaped
as well as normal shapes. When a couple marries, they close their lock in one of
these spots and throw the key away, symbolic of making their love untouchable as
well as
irreversible... LOVELY!!
