Mary Borsato is closing her bridal shop in Alkmaar after 47 years. The eighty-year-old mother of singer Marco Borsato announced this on Instagram. De Witte Markies, as the shop is called, will close its doors on January 1st.
“With pain in my heart, I say goodbye to the store,” Borsato writes. “It has been a privilege to help so many brides find the perfect dress for their wedding day.”
“But it’s time to enjoy my retirement and spend more time with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”
The sale of dresses will continue until the last day, Borsato reports.
