Jon and Suzanne – October 6, 2014
Our story
We were on our way home to Chicago after visiting various sites out west. After looking on the atlas and seeing we were heading to Lovelock, NV, I looked the town up in the AAA book. We had to stop there and buy a lock to put on the chain behind city hall. We bought the lock at Temptations and got the last lock they had. After engraving our lock, “Jon & Sue Von, 44 years” we had the nicest chat with the two women who work at Temptations and learned about the town of Lovelock, how the town got its name, and the area near the town. We found this to be one of the unplanned highlights of our trip. We shared a dish of huckleberry ice cream BEFORE lunch – a great way to celebrate 44 years together!
Our secret to everlasting love:
Listening, talking, being honest, understanding, not having to be “right” all the time, holding hands, humor, being grateful for small and large acts of kindness, forgiveness, and a bit of prayer.
Edward and Karla Lundeen – August 25, 2014
Our story
We were working a temporary job in Fernley Nv. We decided to check out the surrounding area. It was the Christmas season and we decided to make a trip to Lovelock and check it out. We found ourselves at the Chamber of Commerce to learn a little more about the community. We found out about the park and a chance to “Lock our Love” (This year Aug. 25, 2014 we will celebrate 35 years of marriage) It was fun picking out our special lock and learning about how the how the tradition first began. We proceeded to the park and made our short and sweet vows to one another for keeps. However, two years later we were still wandering around with the keys waiting for the perfect place to put them. This past weekend we found ourselves hiking to the shore of Crater Lake, and taking a boat tour out onto the deepest lake in the continental U.S. and tossing our keys into water almost 2000 ft. deep. We then climbed our way back up the mile long steep trail to our ! jeep. We could have tossed them into the dessert—Deeply into Crater Lake felt more like infinity and that is how we feel about our love for another…
Our secret to everlasting love:
Stay active taking in as much of the beautiful world, and the people we share it with! We look at life as an adventure waiting to happen always!
Doug and Judy Lund – June 14, 2014
Our story
My Cousin set Doug & I up on a blind date. We decided to go the drive in and watch “little Big Man”. We went back to his house and sat out on the swing and talked some more. Long story shortened… We dated for a week the next weekend he proposed to me in Ogden Park. I happily said “Yes”. The opening day of fishing was June 2nd and Doug had this plan I think to drive to Elko get married the next day and take me fishing with him, so we did just that. The honeymoon was at Muddy Lake where I lost my shoe in the mud and spent our first night in the back of his friends camper. He made up for it year later when we took a trip down the California coast. We have been through life’s ups and downs together and 42 years later we are still celebrating our love together.
Our secret to everlasting love:
Forgiveness is a key factor to true love. Don’t keep a score card of all the faults each other have or do. Let your heart remember the love you started with and built on that. Also respect and trust each other.
Shevonne and Joe – June 2, 2014
Our story
My name is Theresa Zagariello-Robinson. My husband’s name is Mark Robinson. We live in Baldwin, Long Island, NY. I have lived here since I was a little girl. BUT, Mark moved here from Manchester, England.
Mark & I met in person four (4) years ago (almost to the day) November, 8 2008. Before meeting in person, we “met” on Myspace. Mark was on his Myspace page back in England and was searching for fellow Bruce Springsteen Fans he could talk with about his love of Bruce & Bruce’s music. This is when Mark “The Boss” on Myspace came across my, Theresa “BossLady” on Myspace’s profile.
Mark & I talked for a while through Myspace, emails, and Instant Messages. We talked for a while on email. Then Mark told me he had a trip planned out to The States, to New Jersey, to visit one of his best friends. Mark asked me, if while he was here, “Did I fancy going out to dinner?” I said, “Sure, just let me know when you’ll be out here.” He asked for my phone number, I gave it to him. After weeks of waiting for Mark to call me, he finally did!! Our first telephone conversation was on June 16, 2008 at 9:00pm EST. That conversation lasted SEVEN (7) hours ending June 17, 2008 at 4:00am EST. We still have the long distance phone bill to prove it. It’s the most expensive phone bill I’ve ever paid, and worth EVERY penny! As you know, there is a five hour time difference between New York & England. Mark and I spoke every day regardless. He was often exhausted and sleep deprived. Late for work too! (His boss loved him) Still he insisted we speak every night when I got h! ome from work.
So after months of talking, Mark finally landed here for his 5-week vacation. He was staying with his “cousin”, Ray in New Jersey then coming out on the LIRR to meet his “BossLady,” Theresa.
Mark was out here for my 40th Birthday. November 15, 2008. I had a small party with family & close friends. (Well, small for an Italian girl LOL) It was at my birthday party that Mark met my parents, siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews, & cousins. I think it was a small shock for a man who grew up in the small town of Oldham, UK. Haha J But Mark not to be deterred enjoyed meeting everyone, talking Soccer with my father, and about Bruce with both my older sister & younger brother (Both huge fans of Bruce as well!) The night was fun & a success.
After Mark’s 5-week vacation was over, he had to go back to England. Mark and I knew we were meant to be together. We were soul mates.
When Mark got home he started looking into the immigration process. I had said I could never live in England, it’s too cold and I couldn’t be that far away from my family, especially my nieces and nephews J Mark understood being close to his family as well. His nieces however, were grown-up now. This made Mark’s decision to move to New York easier.
I flew “over The Pond” to meet Mark’s family. He made several trips back to New York. On May 2, 2009 Mark proposed. I of course said YES! We were in his hotel room relaxing before going to dinner. Mark tossed me the “Live In Barcelona- Rising” dvd. He said “babe, can you put this in the dvd player?” I didn’t want to get up! He threw me the box and said “Put the damn dvd in the player!!” I opened the box and my engagement ring was tied inside with a gold ribbon!! On May 4, 2009 we saw our First Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band Show together at The Nassau Coliseum. I had seen Bruce both with the Band & solo 32 previous times. Mark had seen over 15 live shows in Europe. But this Show was the best, most special of them all!! Mark & I were seeing OUR inspiration together Live for the first time!
July 25, 2010 Mark & I were married here in New York. “Drive All Night” is our wedding song…All 8 minutes of it! 2-1/2 years later we are more in love than ever! Our friends call us “Mr. and Mrs. Boss” because they all know how we met & how much we both have always loved Bruce and his music.
Mark & I are soul mates. We know this. As more proof, Mark’s best friend, Steve, cut out an Ad in an English Newspaper. The Ad was for The Rising Tour. Mark’s First Live Show! The date on the ad, November, 15! Today, November, 15 is not only the day this submission is due, but November, 15 IS MY BIRTHDAY. Steve gave Mark this ad before Steve knew it was my birthday. A sign that Mark & I were always meant to be…Soul Mates.
Thank You! Thank You! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for all the years of enjoyment & fun! Thank you for the great music & thank you for letting us relive our “Meeting Across the River” (okay, Pond) through this letter! Bruce, You and the e-Street Band ROCK!
Hopefully Bruce You will get to read this one day …

Shevonne and Joe – May 7, 2014
Our story
My love story begins on a day that i will never forget. The first date that myself and my fiance had was at a car dealership. I was purchasing my very own car that day. It wasnt a great car but a car nonetheless. But the car didnt matter at all. In fact, this day was special because shevonne made it special. She and i spoke about our past lives and what we want from a relationship. It was magical how we spoke to one another. I fell for her the moment i saw her come into the car. She had such huge hair that stood straight up. She looked beautiful in every way. After that day, we were inseperable. I could NOT stop thinking about her. Our next date i gave her a rose. This rose had a pinkish color to it with a tint of orange. She loved it. This woman makes me feel alive. She gives me the strength to do anything in the world. Without her, i am incomplete. I am so blessed and grateful to have such a wonderful woman by my side that it is almost like im dreaming! . If she ever happens to read this, i want her to know that i am the same man that she met when we first went on our actual date together. To be honest, i lost track of myself which in turn made me lose track of how much i love her. But now, as of this day, after 2 and a half years of being with her, i now see that my love for her has never and will never die. I will support her, i will spoil her with endless love, and i will be the fiance she wants me to be. Because that my friends is why we fall in love in the first place. We may fall, we may stumble, but true love always finds a way when you have god by your side. And for this reason, and this reason only, is the reason why i love Shevonne so much. Forever and always.

Our story
We met our senior year in August of 2007 at the youth group of my church. Anthony had come as a guest of his best friend, who coincidentally, was close friends with my best friend. At first, I was under the impression that he was dating another friend of mine, so there was no immediate interest. We became friends over the next several weeks, including going to the homecoming dance in the same group. However, he started dating my best friend, and I started dating a guy from work. In March of 2008, we found each other newly single and heartbroken. We started talking on the phone as someone to talk to as our hearts recovered. When prom came around, Anthony invited me to go along with him, since I was homeschooled, and had no prom of my own to attend. Seeing an opportunity, Anthony asked me on a date for the following day. What was supposed to be a day-at-the-park date, turned into an 8-hour date that ended with our first kiss, and Anthony asking me to be hi! s girlfriend. Graduation came and went. He stayed in town to work, while I moved 3 hours away for college. The week I moved away, we became engaged; by end of the first semester, I moved back to live with him. We were married 9-19-2009. We now have a 3-year-old son as well as a 1-year-old son. Anthony works on a drill rig, and I am a stay-at-home mom.

This woman has aspired me to be all I can be.. I’ve realized how much one person can really have that effect on me. I took her hand to feel my heart, to let it feel how in sync we are, that the love we share will never part. Tiffany Babiigirl you have shown me the true meaning of love, the true fight, the push and shove. Through thick and thin we’re still strong, knowing this love is forever long.
Tiffany, I’m happy to say you have changed and touched me in ways I cannot explain. You have reached the depth of me and brought it out. You have made my life much more worth living. I cannot imagine this life without you. You truly are amazing. Carry My LOVE, always and forever.

Vince Pilcher and Erica Espeland – February 14, 2012
Our story
I (Vince) first saw Erica working as a door girl at a bar in Reno, NV during the fall of 2009. I was out with my buddies to watch a UNR football game on the big screen. It was December, so we all had Santa Clause hats on and were having a great time watching the game. I looked around the room a few times to admire the art and architecture. One particular time, as my eyes scanned the door we had entered a couple hours ago, something, someone caught my eye. There was a girl standing at the door who worked there, and the moment i noticed her i couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I kept looking over my shoulder towards the door, again and again. There was something about her, beyond looks and charisma that held me in a state of wonder. She had shorter brown hair, about shoulder-length, rich brown eyes, a really cute nose and a stunning smile. I racked my brain telling myself to go talk to her, but every guy who walked in seemed to hit on her, over and over a! gain. So i told myself to not be “that guy” and went home without speaking a word to her. Looking back now, i can’t remember who won the football game, what songs the DJ played after words, all of the guys i was with, or if i carpooled there or if i drove. All i remember is that girl standing at the door. So i went about my life, school, work, playing music, church, snowboarding, camping and living my usual life with this girl on my mind. Eventually i slowed to think of her and came to rest with not talking to her that night.
A year had passed without ever seeing her again or really thinking about her. The 2010 new year had come and gone, along with the spring semester, a summer of camping at lake tahoe, and i was back enjoying the fall of 2010. I was busy with school and serving at my local church, Living Stones in Reno. I had been attending Living Stones for about 4 years and was in love with the way they were a Bible-based, Gospel preaching church. Every Sunday you would hear about the life, death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. I was growing in faith and maturity, learning what it means to be in need of grace and forgiveness that can only be received by faith in Christ. My occasional visit had become an every Sunday attendance to worship the one true God who created all things.
One particular Sunday evening while walking into Living Stones, i made my way down through the hall filled with people before the 7pm service began. As i walked and conversed with the church family, something, someone, caught my attention. I immediately went into auto pilot in the conversation i was in, nodding my head and saying uh huh, while my eyes were glued to the back of this girl across the hall. There was no way! Could it be? I continued to investigate while in mid-conversation with my friend. I still couldn’t tell who it was, so i apologetically ended the conversation and relocated to get a better view. No way! Sure enough, it was her! The girl at had seen at the door! I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t even remember how long ago it was when i had seen her for that first time, but i was in shock. What were the chances! So did i go and introduce myself? No. I was so overwhelmed that i couldn’t hold a conversation with her, there was no way. What was i supposed to say! ? I saw you in a bar one night a long time ago and thought you looked nice? No, that was no good. So there i was, back at square one.
Time went on and i continued to see her at Living Stones. One particular evening, there was a chance to serve at the local Gospel Mission in Reno, feeding the homeless and i had seen that she was signed up for the event. So, i signed up! This will be cool i thought, serving God side by side. Maybe there would even be a chance to introduce myself. It was great. There were about 15 of us and we prepared and served over 70 people. However, there wasn’t a chance to break the ice. To my luck (or God’s sovereign plan) there was a dinner party at the leader’s house right after. So we all went over and began enjoying each other’s company, talking of how grateful we were to see God bless this ministry and allow us to feed so many homeless. Now was my chance, now or never i thought. So i walked up and made small talk with her. We talked for a while about nothing and at the end of the night, offered to help her carry out a plate of hor devours she had brought. She said yes, and we end! ed up at her toyota 4runner outside. Instead of having that awkward silence, i chose to talk to her about her truck, how she liked it and and that sorta stuff. At that point i knew i wanted to talk to her again, so i told her she should come watch me play music sometime. In fact, i had a Christmas party i was playing at, as it was close to Christmas. She said she’d love to and I told her i would text her the details. At that point, it seemed almost immediate, her phone number was in my phone and we were on our way after a friendly hug.
We began texting soon after, and although she was unable to make it to the Christmas party, she and her friend made it to my New Years Eve show to celebrate the 2011 New Year. Time went on, our texts got more frequent, i began to call her to talk on the phone for the first times, and we had our first one-on-one date at Starbucks. We continued to see each other at Living Stones Church and worshiped God together as friends. I continued to serve the homeless with her and others every month. Our talks got longer and our feelings grew stronger to the point i knew i wanted to date her in pursuit of marriage one day (as scripture teaches), God willing. While i was away in March for a surfing trip in so-cal, i asked her what she thought about it, and before i knew it we were an item. I couldn’t believe it. The girl i noticed nearly 2 years prior at some bar was my date. It was hard to believe, but there we were! Learning about each other, serving each other, and most importantly worshipping God together. We went to church together, prayed together, served together, and sought God’s will for our lives together. She came to all my shows, went hiking together, hung out with friends together, went to parties together and enjoyed our families together. We were becoming friends. This is key to a successful relationship! She/he needs to be your friend, your best friend if you are married. It has almost been a year since we first started pursuing each other’s friendship towards a possible marriage, and i don’t see us just “dating” for much longer. Marriage is in our near future, and what a blessing! We are now closer friends than we have ever been, know more about each other than we ever have, allowed the Gospel to heal much of our personal past, see each other as a new creation washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ, and strive to preach that Gospel to each other on a daily basis. We believe that God has reveled to us how marriage was intended ! to be in 1 Corinthians 7, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3, and we t! rust tha t through the power of the Holy Spirit it will be so with us. So here we are today, standing in Lovelock, Nevada with a lock in our hands that has a lot packed into it. The only thing that will keep this lock on this chain is the love of Jesus Christ that we are able to love each other with. So here we go, for you O Lord, we lock our love to you and to each other! I love you Erica. -Mister
Our secret to everlasting love:
God is love – 1 John 4:8. So the secret to everlasting love is to pursue the only everlasting God who first loved us (1 John 4:19). So friends THIS is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. This means to keep Jesus Christ at the center of your relationship (marriage) so you never fail to see each other through the lens of the Gospel. To understand how to love, you must first be loved. And the Son of God hanging on a cross is the greatest love story there will ever be. That’s when God’s love is on full display. So ask him if he is real and to reveal his everlasting love to you!
April Collns and Hedi Fazai – February 11, 2012
Our story
Hedi and I met online 7 years ago; a chance encounter in a Yahoo chat room. We became good friends, talking online and on the phone nearly every day, but never finding the opportunity to meet in person. We both met and married other people- the wrong people!- and we both ended up divorced. Another chance encounter online, this time on Facebook, brought us back together. We wasted no time in meeting this time around. We have been together for a year now, and are planning our summer wedding. Sometimes it just takes time to be exactly where you’re supposed to be, and with the person you were meant to be with.
We locked our love just 2 days before our 1 year anniversary.
Our secret to everlasting love:
We are a team. We are each other’s most protective player, toughest coach, loudest cheerleader, and biggest fan. When we fight we always remember we’re on the same side and ultimately running towards the same goal.

She is the love oft life and there will never be another that can take her place…..I became comfortable…I stopped treating her like the princess that she is. I am here just to profess my love for her and o pray to God every day that she will tale me back…I miss her more and more everyday that we are apart..I have seen the error of my ways and can never say ” I’m sorry ” enough to ever make it up to her. If it takes my last dying breath to get Kim back I will try. Kim is the most beautiful, understanding,full of life person I have ever met in my life..
30 some odd years ago I met Kim and fell in love….she just didn’t know it….we went to high school together and I had the biggest crush on her….I can describe everything about her from way back then…I felt like she was out of my league ….(there’s times I still do) but she stole my heart and still has it and I’ll never get it back….I screwed up….I realize that now and wish I would have figured out how much life would hurt without her….
That’s all I wanted to say….except to tell anyone who reads this….treat the person you love like a princess or s prince and everyday find something to smile about….
I Love You Kim

Eric, Donna, and Sarah & Jacob – July 1, 2011
Our story
My family and I had been planning a cross country trip for this summer for the past year. My husband works for a company that gives a 2 month sabbatical every five years and we wanted to use the time traveling with our children. We left our New Hampshire home on Saturday, June 18th and planned to be home by July 29th. Our plan was to drive out the northern route and return through the middle of the country. Our children are 10 and 12 and it seemed like the perfect age to take this journey.
On July 1, 2011 we were involved in a rollover accident on Route 80 near mile marker 43. It was the worst day of my life. The fear involved in the crash was overwhelming, and I still can’t get the image of swaying back and forth on the highway before eventually rolling over out of my mind. I had never experienced this amount of fear involving, not only me, but my husband and children and I am so thankful to a handful of good Samaritans that stopped to help us, EMT’s and Pershing General Hospital in Lovelock, NV for taking good care of us.
We were discharged from Pershing General after a couple hours and our car and camper were towed to a nearby towing company in Lovelock. We were driven to Reno that evening so that we could rent a car during the busy holiday weekend.
The next morning we traveled back to Lovelock to rummage through the remains of our car and camper, rented a pickup truck and spent another night in Reno. We had discussed ending our trip in Nevada and flying home. But, after giving it a lot of thought, and being thankful that we were all okay, we decided to finish out our trip. We continued onto California, visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles before making the return trip visiting the remainder of our planned stops along the way, including Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Arches, Breckenridge, St. Louis and Hershey Park.
We always knew this trip would be a learning experience, but we never realized the magnitude of how it would change our lives. We learned to be flexible and take things as they come. We learned that we need little else in this world other than each other. We learned how fragile life can be and how strong our family is. We learned to take full advantage of each and every day. We learned to hug each other a little tighter and a little longer than we ever did before.
We will always remember Lovelock, NV, where are family bonds were strengthend forever. We never got a chance to put a lock in Lovelock, but someday, I hope to return to put a special lock at the place that made me realize how blessed I am.
Our secret to everlasting love:

Julie Anne and Lovelock – June 7, 2011
My surname is Lovelock. I’ve lived in the US for 16 years but haven’t yet met anyone else with this last name. My father’s family comes from Didcot in England and I imagine that Lovelock, Nevada, was named by one of my family members because Didcot is also a major railway station. I have visited the town of Didcot in Queensland, Australia, which is also a railway town.
My sympathy goes to the families of those who died and were injured in the accident yesterday.

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart…. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”
Emily and Gregory – May 18, 2011
Our story
Love. What is love? We only know what true love is when we find it. Love cant be taught, love cant be forced, love can only be found. We all end up finding ourselves spending our entire lives looking for love. Fore without love, what do we have? Chaos, saddness, emptyness. We were meant to love, however sometimes we forget. Sometimes we walk right past it. Sometimes we push it away, and hide it deep inside ourselves for what reason? A stupid reason usually. Love is about sacrifice, acceptance, passion. I myself found love. And I have quite the love story.
Leaving school was one of the happiest moments I lived. I remember all my ambition pooring out into the open for the entire world to see. I had no idea what was just around the corner. I, since I could remember dreamed about my career. I just wanted to help people. I wanted to make a difference in peoples lives. As far as I was concerned university was going to be the next major chapter in my life. Boy was I so off target. Just before I began the first semester I visited my favourite cafe. I knew of a man that worked there, but I never used to pay much attention to him. He was too perfect. Automatically impossible. So before I began I gave up. It wasnt untill I went that night did I realise that he wasnt there. I felt a sharp pain of dissappointment. I didnt understand why? I remember sitting with my mother, catching up on the latest news, when he walked in, no uniform, just black jeans and a leather jacket. He was alone, just wondering around. I felt nerves, maybe due to m! y small panic that he was gone for good. That opened my eyes, and right then and there did I realise that I may be paying more attention to him than I thought after all. My mother picked up on my vibe, and frantically pushed me to go over and smile at him or something. “he looks lonely” she said. After atleast 5 minutes of me making rediculas excuses, I finally got the courage to go up and atleast say hi, while I was pretendiing to look at the cake display. His face lit up as i walked toward him. My heart was like I had just ran a marathon. I suprised myself just how nervous I was. As I walked back past him to go sit down, I introduced myself. Then i walked back to my table. After my mother hounding me to invite him over, I ran over to him just as he was about to leave. That was when I met Greg. The man who stayed in Australia for 5 months just to be with me. He was on holiday for 3 months from Greece. Sponsored by a cafe for work. I sat in that cafe for two of th! ose months and didnt say one word to him. Not untill the day b! efore he was going to leave. That I did not know. Every day since that day he has been with me. By my side. Untill now, home is where he is, and I have never felt so much pain ever before. His smell is still in my house, my sheets, everywhere. The places that are routine to me remind me of him constantly. I cry, I cry for him, but knowing that I am thousands of kilometers away from him breaks my heart. We are apart but together. And its not untill you are willing to give up everything, do know what true love is. My once vital career is nothing to me compared to Greg. I am here with all I wanted, and Ive never been so misrable. Its funny how one touch can change everything. How one moment with them is worth more than anything. And its funny how love is what makes the world the crazy place it is. Men who love power, money, themselves is what causes us to act how we do. Love causes us to hurt and loose our sanity. Love motivates us to do drastic acts of both good and evil. Its our obbs! ession with one another that makes us or breaks us. So what is love? Love is everything.
Our secret to everlasting love:
the secret to everlasting love is time. If you can wait a thousand years for someone, thats true love. Dont forget what life is about. Its about love.

I am a die-hard romantic and grew up as a dreamer. When I was about 10 years old, my dad brought a 45 rpm home. The song was called, “Son, Don’t Go Near the Indians.” I knew I was going to marry an Indian girl. A friend moved near Ione, CA and went to church in Jackson, CA. I often stayed with him and on one weekend, I went to church with him. While we were sitting in church, in walked this large family of obviously Indians. In the middle of this family was this beautiful Indian maiden. My future was immediately set forward. We began writing letters because I lived over 50 miles away. During Viet Nam, Uncle Sam came calling and we knew it was time to get married. While overseas, we wrote every day and even made cassette tapes for each other and mailed them. We have been best friends and lovers since 8th grade. We still have all the letters from high school and the tapes and letters when I was overseas. We have more fun together t! han we ever had when we were with others and we always look forward to just going on drives alone across this great country.

Our story
We met in January of ’97 in gym class while both dating other people. We started dating each other in May of ’97, he was a senior and I was a freshman. 5 years later in ’02, when I was old enough and he was ready, we got married in our hometown of Reno, NV. We now have two beautiful little boys who are quickly growing into little men and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We went on a motorcycle run with the HOG group that visited Lovers Lock Plaza and purchased our lock to have just one more little thing to show our grandchildren someday.
Our secret to everlasting love:
Respect, strength and dedication.

Michael and Piper – August 17, 2010
Our story
Ours is not a story of love at first sight, nor is it a story of perfect love. It is, however, a story of true love. We are both divorcees that met several years ago through mutual friends. In the beginning neither of us were particularly fond of the other. Truth be told, we downright despised each other. But as time has a way of doing, we began to discover more of one another and dig beneath the surfaces. At first we only saw each other at parties where we often found ourselves being the last remaining revelers and were thus forced to spend time together. Through countless nights of conversation and laughter we quickly became the best of friends. Then one night it happened, we realized that we were falling in love. Two years later we exchanged our vows. We stopped in Lovelock while on our honeymoon, 10 days after our wedding.
Our secret to everlasting love:
Laugh together and adventure together. When the beauty fades and the bodies tire, all you will have are the memories of your life’s beautiful adventure.

Jen and I met going into the Peace Corps to serve in the desert country of Turkmenistan. We had an instant connection, but the Turkmen government ejected Peace Corps volunteers so we were split – I ended up in Ukraine, and she in Azerbaijan. We wrote and called one another daily, and have both recently returned to the States. Now she’s in Modesto, CA and I am in SLC, UT, and both of us are scraping together enough money to move in together. Lovelock is right in the middle and we feel like God put it on the map for it to be our desert rendezvous point.

We decided it was ‘time,’ so we loaded up the car with some beefalo steaks, raw milk and cream, and other nibblies to camp with. Serious budget.
Our plan originally was, to be married in some place named “Bliss” and spend our wedding night in “Paradise”; this was not possible on our schedule, so we chose Lovelock, and were so blessed to be married by Sharon & Obed Beal. The Cowpoke Cafe folks helped us find them, the rest of the town came and helped us get more formal-looking (thank you so very much). Gorgeous little church, heavenly altar…blessing of Aaron…
We locked a little pink lock on the fence of the rotunda courthouse, and promise we’ll come back…when it’s ‘time.

My husband and I locked our love 32 years ago on 9/19/1976. We needed some quality time together so we decided that a road trip would be good. While passing through Nevada we stoped for gas in Lovelock. I noticed all the signs which said “Don’t let Love pass you by”, “Lock your love in Lovelock ” and ” Locks sold here”. I purchased a lock at the gas station to give to my husband. After returning on the freeway I relized we needed to go back to Lovelock so that we could lock our love there. We turned around and went back to Lovelock and found the court house and there we locked our love forever. We took lots of pictures and made memories that we will never forget. It was so much fun and worth the stop.

Lisa & Robin– February 18, 2008
Our story
It was the day before Valentine’s Day and Robin and I had a big argument. It was one of those fights that make you want to sleep in separate rooms. So we let the holiday go by without celebrating it. Anger becomes loneliness very quickly. We needed some quality time together. It had been too long since we last did something to invest in ourselves and our relationship. After we talked out our problems, Robin suggested we take a short road trip to Lovelock and do something symbolic that would remind us of our commitment to eachother. So, Sunday we went to Lover’s Lock. Taking time out for ourselves and placing our lock on the chain really helped. The stresses of daily life build up quickly. We should never forget to take the time to nurture our marriage. Thank you Lovelock.
Our secret to everlasting love:
Never stop courting eachother. Don’t take your spouse or your marriage for granted. Go out on regular dates and enjoy eachother’s company. It can be a picnic in the park, dinner out, a movie, a long walk, or a weekend getaway. Be committed to it and be creative!

Krista & William Tucker – October 20, 2007
Our story
It had been a rough day that started the night before,
A friend introduced them soon after he came thru the door,
She sat with a friend acting quiet and shy,
Before she told him her name, she just said “hi”,
Two years later they stand strong together,
He thought it was right to ask about forever,
She was relaxing with her friends at East Park lake,
When we brought that rig to a halt in Salt Lake,
He dislikes malls intensely but kept looking for 3 long hours,
Just wondering and pondering which ring would be ours,
They say he had some history of hillbilly heritage,
He took a picture of the ring and sent her a text message,
She said he had done good and was very impressed,
She responded with a text too which simply said “yes”,
You may wonder how they picked this date,
Don’t you know it could only be fate,
He drives a truck from the cornhusker to the bay,
And they talk by cell phone a few times a day,
The first words from her lips are “where are you honey?”,
He knows she truly loves him when she asks his 10-20,
R.S.V.P. now,
As they exchange their marriage vows

Trust and patience

We locked it on feb 14th when I asked her if she would marryme….We both have been thru hurtful relationships..and suffered great pain….so we promised each other that we would never hurt or cause heartbreak , but would both try to work it out thru communication for there are many ways to communicate…I helped her with many matters that she showed deep trust in me and would do what ever I asked. Wow , that really showed me she would do what ever it took to find true love by offering to change. So Far it has been over 4 months and we never met….. And our love bond is unbreakable..!
Our secret to everlasting love:
My secret to everlasting Love was watching what my parents did…and not doing the same, they were always fighting, and i was normally in the middle of it. I would always walk away when they were yelling because It made no sense to me, because i would not be able to get out the words…..so i would go and write it down, and show it to them, which would get my point across without any interuptions…I figure I would experience life before I decided to settle down, then when my first marriage, which I did everything to make it work, she was the one that failed, because of failure to communicate and discipline the children! It was a great learning experience, cause now I have all the tools to make the perfect relationship. Then came Amanda The love of my life.!!!

Sandra & Dave Mathewson – February 14, 2006
Our story
Dave was 59 divorced and living in Elko. Dave is a gold exploration geologist and has spent 30 years roaming Nevada looking for gold. Sandra was 59, divorced and living in Fernley. In June of 2003 Sandra entered her profile on Match.com. hoping to meet a wonderful man. A few days later Dave responded. The couple emailed for a month. Sandra told Dave about the beautiful quartz like rocks she recently collected for her backyard.
Dave wanted to know more about Sandra and the rocks. So, one Saturday in June, Dave drove to Fernley. It turns out the rocks were from the Tallapoosa Gold Mine, a mine Dave had discovered years before. Sandra and Dave have been together since that Saturday and were married on August 7, 2004 in Lake Tahoe. So…you see there is more than gold to be found in the rocks!
Our secret to everlasting love:
A person never knows how many remaining years they have. Cherish each day with your lover, do special things and let the little go…. Each night we fall asleep snuggling one another and holding hands.

Stephanie & Richard Clemens – February 14, 2006
Our story
We met in Germany. Richard was a soldier there. I didn’t speak a word of English and he didn’t speak any German. Everybody told us that it wouldn’t work – but here we are 49 years, 3 children and 5 grandchildren later – we are still going strong.
Also – we locked our love on the Great Wall of China.
Our secret to everlasting love:
A sense of humor and don’t sweat the small stuff.
Robert & Cathy – March 6, 2006
Our story
We’ve been together off and on for twelve years and have a half dozen kids. There’s a time when all of us have to grow up and that time is now. For 12 years the lock was unlocked! I think it’s time to lock it and throw away the key!
Our secret to everlasting love:
Respect, honesty, willingness and to be ready for it!
