What are Love Padlocks?
Love and Commitment.

Presenting an engraved padlock, often known as "love padlocks", to a loved one has been traced back to a Chinese tradition, which would symbolize the locking of ones life together. All across the world people are placing their locks in special places to symbolize and pronounce their love.

"it is a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Most common place of love padlocks are railings of bridges. It is suggested that the custom of "locking a padlock and throwing away the key" probably originated in China. It has been said that if both members of "love's hand" are not present as the lock locks, the love has been forever jinxed." - Wikipedia.com
