New Brunswick’s covered bridges … kissing bridges
~
A covered bridge is also known as a ‘kissing bridge’ – a place where a couple can steal a caress in privacy. A covered bridge has always been a good place to leave a message about affection for one another.

During our covered bridge visits, we’ve seen lots of examples of these messages …

At least two notations of love in the MacFarlane Covered Bridge (Ward’s Creek #2) …

Ron and Trish, 2014 and WR and EE, years ago … MacFarlane Bridge
~
And another way of linking two sets of initials in the Marven Bridge (Belleisle Creek #2) …

A heart links J G and CW on the Marven Bridge

‘Just Married’ in chalk in the Moores Mills Bridge (Trout Creek #5) …

And, back in the MacFarlane Bridge, an incomplete notation. Who did LANA love?

A wonderful reminder that covered bridges have had a place in New Brunswick hearts for generations and, in turn, they have left expressions of their heart in the bridges. .

You are so right! I think we are so lucky to have the Patrick Owen bridge in our community.
