locks...

This is so romantic...

found on Naturally Nina. 

On a bridge in Cologne, Germany, lovers have started a tradition of affixing padlocks with messages engraved on them to the fence.  It's kinda like the new initials carved on the tree thing. Much more modern and sophisticated, and no trees get hurt in the process! 
My high school boyfriend carved our initials in a tree.  I'm sure they're long since grown over {I certainly hope so}.  At the time I thought it was way cool.
 
I hope you all have a weekend filled with love and romance!   Happy Friday!
