The latest to have made news headlines as a result of matrimonial relationship with a lifeless object is an Australian woman who has tied the knot with a bridge she claimed to have fallen in love with.
Woman marries bridge after falling in love with it
The fear of heartbreaks is probably what is compelling some people to choose inanimate objects over humans for marriage. There has been news about women getting married to trees, ghosts among other things.
Jodi Rose is reported to have described the bridge she has been married to since 2013 as a handsome, strong and sturdy husband who understands her and her feelings.
It is further reported that Jodi discovered the ‘handsome’ bridge during a tour around France, and not long after that, she decided to get married to it.
At a ceremony attended by 14 people, the mayor of a town neighbouring the bridge reportedly blessed the marriage, making it a legitimate union.
“I was really quite nervous. I felt like a bride. I got to have my princess wedding day,” Jodi is quoted as having told Sunday Night.
Wondering how she benefits from her weird relationship with the bridge? Jodi said: “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.”
One can only wish her good luck.
