Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt may be closer to tying the knot after double mastectomy

The Hollywood heavyweight revealed in an op-ed Tuesday that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy because of a fault gene that may have caused her mother's fatal ovarian cancer.
Jolie said Pitt has been her rock, staying at her side through countless medical procedures she has confronted since the surgery in February.
“I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive,” Jolie, 37, wrote in a moving op-ed she published in Tuesday’s New York Times.
“We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.”

意味はtie the (marriage) knotで「結婚する」です(『ジーニアス英和辞典』第四版、大修館)。ジョリーが大変な時に支えてくれたピット。やはり人間一人では生きていけないんだなと改めて実感しました。（Sugar）
