Love rituals around the world

You think you're the most romantic girl in the world? Not unless you've celebrated your love at these places.

Pont des Arts Bridge: Actors Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds took a stroll a few months ago over this pedestrian bridge in Paris where lovers snap their love locks and toss the key into the Seine River.

Trevi Fountain: The legend of the famous Roman fountain says that throwing in one coin means a return to the Italian capital, a second coin leads to a new romance, and a third coin leads to marriage. Amore!

Bräutigamseiche: Couples leave lasting memories in the form of love letters at the Bräutigamseiche, a 500-year-old oak tree in Lübeck, Germany.

The Shinto Fertility Festival: Everyone wants to get it on at this Japanese fest, where couples gather to boost their chances at conceiving a baby. A giant penis is central to the decor.

House of Juliet: It was the hometown of the girl who taught us all how to love. That's probably why romantics travel to the Shakespearean lover's hometown of Verona in Italy leave letters to Juliet, asking for relationship advice.
