A California Couple Locks In Their Love

Yesterday while strolling across the Pont de l’Archevêché I spotted a couple reaffirming their love by attaching a love lock to the mesh of the guard rail.

They told me that they are from Sacramento, California and that they were near the end of their two-week stay in Paris. Their children had given the trip to them as a gift. What a great idea!

They also told me that they had been married for 32 years!

First the husband threw the key into the river, symbolically locking their love for another 32 years.
