An Australian woman has taken her desire for the ‘strong and silent’-type to a new extreme when she married a bridge. Jodi Rose married Le Pont du Diable Bridge in Céret, southern France after falling head over heels for the ‘sensual’ 14th century stone structure. Ms Rose, or Mrs Le Pont du Diable, has spent the past decade travelling the world recording the vibrations in bridge cables with contact microphones and using them to create experimental music.

Just learned about this. It's a fascinating story, reminding about the woman who "married" the Berlin wall.

I would like to marry the Storebaelt Bridge in Denmark...but my advances were rejected...and the toll was $45 each way.... (sarc)

So if a man marries a bridge in India, sutte tradition would demand that he burn his bridges behind him.

And the last argument that the ‘slippery slope’ theory was wrong just collapsed.

Wait until she seeks a divorce claiming irreconcilable differences and then wants alimony.

Or worse instead of a single span bridge she gets pregnant with a Twin Span bridge!

It will be to “The bridge to no where”!

I think they made a movie about this:

What will the couple do for their honeymoon?

Exactly. I was wondering how they plan to consummate the marriage. I can see some soreness in the future.

The happy couple:

Wonder what sort of blessings the Mayor will give when she demands conjugal visits?

[SUPman]

Are we sure the bridge is a willing participant? She has this guilty look about her.

[Pollster1]

Bridge “marriage” is as valid as gay “marriage”, so why not?

[RichInOC]

Let me guess...she wanted a spouse that was always erect?

[NewHampshireDuo]

A butt ment sex?

They'll cross that bridge when they come to it.

[DakotaGator]

Hadn’t thought of that. Could be a forced marriage.

Should it be annulled, she would be unabridged.
