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.

After visiting dozens of bridges all over the world for her Singing Bridges musical project, she decided this was 'The One'.

Although her new husband may struggle to express his feelings, newlywed Jodi said '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. He is fixed, stable, rooted to the ground, while I am nomadic, transient, ever on the road.

'He gives me a safe haven, brings me back to ground myself, and then lets me go again to follow my own path, without trying to keep me tied down or in thrall to his needs or desires. I am devoted to him.'
