Last week while I was in Bermuda, I noticed white, round arches scattered around the beautiful island. I found out that they are called "moongates,"and it is a tradition for couples to walk through them, share a kiss, and make a wish for a long, prosperous life together. They have become a national symbol of Bermuda and you are bound to see a few if you visit. You may even catch a couple exchanging wedding vows by one—a popular trend! Would you stick with the tradition and share a kiss with your honey under the Bermudian arches? (I'm not gonna lie: I made my, somewhat skeptical, boyfriend walk through them with me.)

If you feel lucky, kiss one another under these cool arches, may you have a long and happy life together!

[...] a Bermudian, us islanders have always been very proud of our little sandpit in the sun. We love our moongate tradition, the fact we are called onions and that no true Bermudian will go in the ocean before 24 May. [...]
