An Affair to Remember
An Affair to Remember, a boutique specializing in dresses for formal events such as proms, pageants, homecomings and military balls, opened in 2005. Store manager Rebecca Horne shared that the shop is gearing up to celebrate its 20th anniversary on March 8, which coincides with International Women’s Day. To mark the occasion, the store plans to host its annual fashion show on the anniversary.
“It’s going to be a big party,” Horne said.
“This is not just a prom store,” Horne said Wednesday. “Whatever you need for whatever event that you’re looking for, we definitely provide it, from the shoes to the earrings, the undergarments, the bra that would work with the dress, to the dress itself. You could literally walk in here and walk out with your dress in hand and everything to go with it for your event.”
