Jodi
Rose, an Australian artist who travels the world recording the vibrations of
bridge cables for her “Singing Bridges” music project, knew it was true love
the first time she laid eyes on Le Pont du Diable, a 600-year-old bridge in
Southern France.
On
June 17, the intimate affair was held at the entrance of her groom with 14
guests in attendance, including the mayor of Saint-Jean-de-Fos, a neighbouring
town. The beaming bride kept it traditional on her not-so-traditional wedding
day, wearing a floor-length ivory dress and carrying a beautiful bouquet,
Oddity Central reported.
Though
their union is not legally recognized in France, Rose said it’s just as strong
as any other marriage.
“While
I respect those whose romantic and sexual feelings are oriented towards
objects, mine is a symbolic affair, a pagan / animist view of the spiritual
vibration in everything,” she wrote on her blog, Bridge land. “He understands
that I love other bridges — and men — ours is a love that embraces the vagaries
of life, as materialized in the swirling currents of the river that flows
beneath his magnificent body.”
Their
love certainly has a strong foundation, but let’s hopes the bridge feels the
same about the open relationship.
On
her blog, Rose gushed about her new beau:
The
story of our romance is a modern love fable – I have travelled the world for
over ten years, making music with the sound of bridges, and as he felt my
vibrations coming nearer he drew me to him. Our wedding is arranged with the
help of friends from Barcelona, the community and artists in Arles-sur-Tech
& Caret, who give their blessing and support to the ceremony. Although he
is made of stone, the resonance of his being is very present, and I feel at
peace in his strong embrace. He makes me feel connected to the earth and draws
me to rest from my endless nomadic wanderings.
Absolute madness!
