Lock Your Love in Loveland, Colorado

The thing I MOST want to do is lock my love in Loveland! It's so FREAKING cute!

The idea behind this is that you and your significant other write or carve your names onto the lock, attach it to a permanent structure, and then toss away the key as a symbol of your forever love.

Other places around the world also have participated in this tradition with lovers locking their love onto gates and fences. However, often times the structure where these locks are placed is often not strong enough to hold the weight of so many locks as time passes.

The city of Loveland creatively came up with a solution to this problem and created love sculptures that are specifically designed to hold thousands of locks that you can "lock" into the structure.
