Wedding tradition
There is a landmark in Moscow that appeared quite spontaneously. Many in Russia believe in the omen that if the bride and groom hang a lock on the bridge, and the key is thrown into the river, they will live together happily ever after. Young couples in Moscow fell in love with the Luzhkov Bridge for this purpose, the place is really very beautiful and romantic. Over time, there were so many locks on the railings that it began to threaten safety, since the bridge was not designed for such an additional weight. Locks were stubbornly cut down, and new couples just as stubbornly hung them up. In the end, a solution was invented that everyone liked. Now there are metal trees on the bridge, on which couples hang locks. As soon as the tree is filled and becomes heavy, it is transferred from the bridge to the embankment, and a new tree takes its place. Every girl tries to decorate the castle herself so that it is unique. You can often see couples who are walking and trying to find their castle. My husband and I were able to find our own after 5 years! It was very sweet and touching)
