A Virtual Love Lock for Your Wedding Anniversary

Matt and his wife, Trish, of Yankton, S.D., launched The Love Lock website Wednesday to provide a digital alternative to folks cluttering some of the world’s most romantic cityscapes with padlocks on bridges. The idea is to affix a lock to a bridge and throw away the key as a symbol of everlasting love.

“We believe that love should be celebrated and the symbolism behind love locks provides a great way to do that,” the couple says in a company statement. “We also believe that our historic structures should be preserved for both our current and future generations.”

Here’s how it works: You go the website and select a special date, maybe a birthday, anniversary, date you first met, whatever. A page appears with available spaces for you to post your lock. There are 100 locks available per date from Jan. 1, 1950, to Dec. 31, 2015.

For $20, you get to pick a color for your love lock, upload a photo and write sweet somethings up to five lines of 20 characters each.
