Countries around the world are discussing same-sex marriage but not the rights and wrongs of marrying a bridge. An Australian woman has done that. Artist Jodi Rose fell in love with the 600-year-old Devil's Bridge in France and married it last month. However, France does not recognise marriages between people and bridges. Nevertheless, 14 guests attended the wedding to see the couple become not man and wife, but bridge and wife. The mayor of the nearby town blessed the marriage. Jodi wore a white wedding dress for her wedding. She gave the bridge a very large ring.

Jodi Rose travels the world visiting bridges to record their sounds and vibrations. She uses these for her experimental "Singing Bridges" project. She said it was love at first sight for the Devil's Bridge. She posted on her blog: "Although he is made of stone…I feel at peace…He makes me feel connected to the earth." The bridge makes her feel comfortable after travelling. Ms Rose said her marriage was symbolic because she values "the spiritual vibration in everything". She said her new partner is: "The perfect husband…strong and silent".
