Forever Love Locks Condemns the Removal of Locks from Paris Pont Des Artes Bridge

Forever Love Locks, creators of high quality bespoke engraved love locks, has condemned the removal of love locks from the Paris Pont Des Artes bridge by the French government.

 

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2015 -- Love locks are engraved padlocks that have been used in a marriage tradition for couples for over a hundred years, starting in Serbia during the darkness of World War 1 to symbolize the unbreakable nature of love for departing soldiers. Since then it has become a tradition all over the world, and nowhere more so than in Paris, the city of love. Forever Love Locks creates incredible bespoke lovelocks for couples, and have spoken out against the removal of more than forty five tons of locks from the Paris Pont Des Artes Bridge.

The company has claimed the removal of the locks fundamentally undercuts this tradition, which is meant to symbolize the permanence of the love between the couples. Paris officials have shown a callous disregard for the many couples who have honeymooned in the city, in pilgrimage to the most romantic place on earth, which has now sadly become a little less romantic thanks to these actions.

Custom lovelocks enables couples to express their bond in a unique way, with custom engraving and lock colors. The Forever Love Locks website is filled with the personal stories of the couples who have bought love locks and have set them in places close to their hearts, including couples who went to the Pont Des Artes in Paris.

A spokesperson for Forever LoveLocks explained, "We cannot believe that the local government in Paris of all places would callously disregard over a million powerful bonds, over a million loving couples hopes and dreams, over a million unique expressions of fidelity and love. It is saddening to see this happen, but we urge our customers to set their locks in somewhere that has a special significance for them, as other more traditional spots may now come under threat because of what has happened in Paris."
