There are obviously other factors that have led to Mich\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153disapproval\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 but since they have occurred offline I shall not mention them here.<\/p>\n

I never wanted this to come out via my blog but after discussions with Mich I took into account his feelings. He said he felt that by not letting people know that we were married I was using my \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153not-single-but-not-married\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 status to engage in behaviour that would not be considered appropriate if people knew we were married.<\/p>\n

In essence I felt Mich (who has been keen to let our families know) wanted reassurance that I was not ashamed of the fact that I am married to him, nor am I ashamed of how we chose to get married and most importantly that when I made those vows I meant them and I would always be prepared to stand by them.<\/p>\n

So here in my blog I am letting the world know that regardless of what others may think about the relationship between MJY and NG, I am 100% in love with Mich. I am 100% committed to Mich. I would risk the anger of my other family members for Mich. I would give all this blog stuff up for the sake of Mich. <\/p>\n

Nearly everyone who knows me knows of Mich. Most people know we have been together for years and that we have been engaged since July 2002. Some may know that immediately after our engagement we set a wedding date and had it not been for the Busia Crash, Saturday 9th August 2003 would have been […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-202","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mum","7":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6Y7Vr-3g","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beginsathome.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
