So you're in love. Yeah, yeah, we've heard it all before. You've got yourself a girl, or a guy―whatever. You love 'em. But you sure as hell don't wanna buy a diamond ring―haven't you heard of that thing called the recession? Lovers, what are you going to do to let your soulmate (and the rest of the city) know that you're really not cheating on them when you come home late from "overtime"? We've got an idea―lock 'em down, with a heavy-duty padlock. No, no, we here at Torontoist don't encourage spousal abuse; you've got us all wrong. What we're saying is―take a cue from Europe―lock that love down.
