History of wedding castles

The tradition of hanging on the wedding day castles on bridges andlanterns appeared in Italy in the 90s of last century. There is a version that there were "wedding locks" in 1992 after the publication of F. Mocci's book "Three meters above the sky." In the novel, the main characters gave each other an oath of love in Rome on the bridge of Milvio. To symbolize the strength of their relationship, they wrapped a chain of lampposts on the bridge and closed the lock on the chain, and threw the key into the Tiber. This beautiful rite was liked by the newlyweds and very quickly became popular in many European countries, including Russia. In our country there is an ancient custom concerning locks. After the wedding, the newlyweds went into the house, under the threshold of which was placed an open granary castle. After the groom brought the bride in his arms to the house, relatives took out the castle and closed it, and the key was thrown into the river so that no one could open the castle and destroy family happiness. The wedding castle was kept in the newlyweds' house and was considered a family heirloom.

The symbol of family happiness

Now the "wedding locks" are firmly in the programcelebrations. After the marriage, the newlyweds usually go to ride around the city, the cortege stops on the bridge and the couple in love closes their castle on the railing, and the key throws into the water. This new custom symbolizes the strength and seriousness of the feelings that bind the bride and groom, and also promises a long and happy marriage. In addition to bridges, happy locks can be found on lampposts and other fences. In order not to spoil the architectural appearance of streets and bridges in many cities, they establish a special "tree of lovers" from pig iron, on which newlyweds hang their locks. For example, in Moscow since 2007 the Luzhkov bridge is decorated with metal trees, on the branches of which hundreds of wedding locks "grow". Over time, the whole alley of love grew on the Bolotnaya Embankment. Lovers try to make their wedding castles unusual, write names on them, decorate them with drawings and rhinestones. The locks of love have firmly taken their place in the wedding industry. In the shops you can buy locks in the form of hearts, different colors and sizes. There are models with farewell inscriptions, and you can also order special engraving. There is an unusual wedding castle that closes only once and does not have a key, which symbolizes the fidelity and strength of feelings. But it is worth remembering that the main thing is not the beauty of the castle, but the strength and sincerity of the oaths of the newlyweds' love.
