Engagement Announcement

On 12^th February we announced to my parents and family that we have decided to get married. It seemed strange to me to tell them something so personal over Skype but this is the way we have to do things! I was nervous to tell them but once I had I felt so much better and I’m so happy that they are excited and happy  for us too. Later that evening I got a text from my brother and Tam – they too were super excited with our news. I had a few problems getting through to my sister and Nan but eventually I did, and I was so pleased that they were all thrilled!

Lok has told his Ama and once he gets all his family together, he will tell everyone else too - but I know secretly he is waiting for his mum to spread the news…….

We are arranging engagement cards at the moment and hopefully they will be sent out by next week.  

We’re Getting Married!

We are delighted to announce that we have finally decided to take the next step in our relationship and get married!

Lok and I plan to marry this year in Nepal. We intend to celebrate our marriage in a manner which embodies both of our cultures.

Many of you know that Lok and I have been in a relationship for over three years. Whilst we have cherished our time together in Nepal, it is our hope that we will soon return to live in the UK together.

We first met in 2008, when Lok taught me to kayak on the Trisuli River, and with his cheeky, funny personality, I knew he was the right man for me! Lok loves the adventurous life: kayaking, biking, bungee jumping, you name it – but recently he has been developing his web design and graphics career. Ruth has an  infectious laugh and smile! She has a huge heart for helping people and trying to make a difference. She has loved spending time with all my family and friends and hopes that we can have many more family events.

We would like you all to be part of our special celebration either in Nepal or the UK.

Love Ruth and Lok
