Woman marries 600-year-old bridge
Published: 2013 July 04 16:34:23 (6552 Views)
Australian artist, Jodi Rose took her love for the structures to another level as she wedded a 600-year-old French bridge, Le Pont du Diable Bridge in Céret, southern France.
The new Mrs Le Pont du Diable has spent the last decade travelling across the globe recording the vibrations in bridge cables to incorporate in her Singing Bridges music project.
Rose knew it was love at first sight when she set eyes on the 'sensual' 14th century bridge, as she apparently felt the earth move as she drew closer.
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before they became bridge and wife.
The couple got hitched on June 17 and while they might not have had the most conventional marriage, they enjoyed elements of a traditional wedding.
The ceremony was an intimate affair with 14 guests including close personal friends and members of the local community. Even the mayor of neighbouring town Saint-Jean-de-Fos gave his blessing.
Choosing the venue was simple enough and the pair made their vows at the groom's entrance. Rose wore a custom bridal gown and veil, and commissioned rings for both her and the bridge otherwise known as The Devil's Bridge.
'He understands that I love other bridges – and men – ours is a love that embraces the vagaries of life, as materialised in the swirling currents of the river that flows beneath his magnificent body,' Rose wrote on her website.
'The Devil's Bridge is everything I could desire in a husband – sturdy, trustworthy, sensual, kind and handsome,' she added.
Their union is not legally recognised in France, but Rose claims their marriage is as strong as any other.
'This is not a decision I undertake lightly, just as our curves complement, we truly bring joy to each other, and the strength of his pylons will always carry me home.'
She has insisted, however, that their love is a symbolic and pagan affair as part of a world view that sees 'spiritual vibration in everything'.
