Ruth is like the sweetest person to live on this planet! She seriously is! Even when she is trying to be angry, she is so sweet with it. Ruth is also really funny and tremendously fun to be around. I have always ended up laughing my ass off when I am in her company as the pics above will testify. And, what a little mover! You see, anyone who loves to dance is automatically listed high on my books... but this girl, damn she throws out some good moves (which makes her the best buddy when you want a good night out).
Ruth has this unique and very special air of calmness which is so rare to come across (especially in London). You instantly feel at peace in her company, and this is a quality I love most about this little gem for a friend. Now, have I also mentioned that Ruth is mega good with crafts and has this immense artistic side which I find so inspirational and intriguing. No doubt her gentle, calming persona and crafty hands will mean Ruth will prove to be the essential bridesmaid any bride could wish for!
Rutheeee and I met at University, I think in the second year. Her partner Kaz was good friends with my boy Ali and a few of our other friends. We hit it off immediately, through a shared love of getting tipsy and then singing out loud and having a wiggle and a jive. I felt very at ease in Ruth's company, and sure enough we would talk the night away (with a glass a vino in hand) every couple of weeks.
Once we had a fantastic Christmas Dinner held at Ali's student house... I believe that this is when we really it it off. The two of us were like naughty school kids, and laughed so hard my belly hurt for a good few days afterwards. I don't think we spent less then five minutes apart on that day, and I learned very quickly that Ruth was an ace gal!
We continued to meet up whilst at University and share some really fun and random nights out. It was great that we both had partners who were mates, as it meant that we could go off and dance and sing the night away. After University we got closer as friends, enjoying meals at Aladins (which is by the way, the best restaurant ever), discussing our aspirations, and providing each other with needed advice.
I must say, Ruth provided me with a deeper sense of adventure; to be more exploratory and delve deeper into my interests (which at the time was a new found interest in photography). She was a girl who spent a lot of time in India researching fabrics, and a girl who would continue to go off on little journeys to be more knowledgeable in those things she felt passionate about. It became refreshing to be around Ruth, and I would always feel inspired and have more oomph to challenge myself.
As we were building a closer relationship it was sad to say bye to Ruth when Ali and I moved down to London in 2010. I really liked this girl and really enjoyed my time spent with her!
However, a few years later (in 2012) I was over the moon to find out that little Ruthee had only gone and moved around the corner from where Ali and I had set up sticks. Wooo hooooo!
Since then, we have become extremely close (with her being around the corner we spend a lot more time together). I now see Ruthee as one of me bestmates and definitely a friend for life! I love her free spirit, her outlook on life, and her fun and upbeat personality. She makes me smile, laugh out loud, and encourages me to lead a more creative life. Rutheee is cute and sweet, but has the best sense of humor (the girl is so dry and witty). She is also very caring, and would always be there at the drop of a hat if you needed (this is fills me with reassurance as I know I will have some mad erratic moments in the months to come). Ruthee is also another great dance partner... which makes me think I am going to have to buy some flat shoes as this girl will make me dance like there is no tomorrow on my Big Day!
