When my husband and I got married, the groomsmen wore kilts. We’d have our own family tartan but in order to rent the kilts, we had to go with the black watch pattern. We purchased this blanket, with the same pattern, to commemorate our special day. It has been present for us, reminding us of our commitment and our love. We are sending an Irish blessing to those in Pakistan. We are happy to have our “love” blanket as part of this sculpture.
