One of my friends went on a trip to Paris a few months ago and found a bridge where there were a number of random padlocks with people's names on them. As it turns out, the names are those of lovers who are engaged and are making an act of commitment. Lovers scribe their names, perhaps a short message, lock it to the fence on the bridge and throw the key in the river. Very romantic, if you ask me.
Apparently this is fairly common in Europe, but it still in some places in America. In Europe, however, these locks are on bridges, chains, and more. In some places the cover an entire area.
