Committed

At the end of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best selling memoir, Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth falls in love with Felipe, an Australian citizen, born in Brazil and living in Bali. They’re soul mates, but despite the fact that they’re blissfully in love, their respective brutal divorces have left them scarred and they vow that they will never , ever marry. But when Felipe is denied entry to the United States on one visit too many, the couple is advised by an officer from Homeland Security that the only way they can be together in the United States is if they are a married couple. So Felipe and Elizabeth, heavy of heart, resolve to marry, but this time Liz decides to do it properly. While they’re waiting for the paperwork and official recognition of their union, Liz roams the world, observing marriages in different cultures and communities and tries to work out for herself what it means to be a wife. She bangs on a bit and the constant quotations started to grate, but she’s intelligent, witty and self deprecating and just like a good friend, you forgive her her minor faults.
