In a beautiful ceremony held in Charleston, South Carolina, Republican Sen. Tim Scott and interior designer Mindy Noce exchanged their vows on August 3, 2024. Sen. Scott, 58, and Noce, 47, were married in a ceremony at Seacoast Church’s chapel, according to sources.

A Cherished Moment
“Tonight, we promised to cherish and nourish each other and our marriage for the rest of our lives,” Senator Scott shared, expressing his joy and love for his new spouse. He continued with a quote from the Bible, Matthew 19:6, stating, “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
The couple met through church friends and their relationship grew to love, culminating in this beautiful event. They have expressed a common love for reading the Bible and playing pickleball.
Seacoast Church’s Founding Pastor, the Officiant
Adding to the sentimental value of the wedding, Greg Surratt, the founding pastor of Seacoast Church and a long-time friend and mentor to Scott, officiated the wedding.
The ceremony was reverently observed with readings from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, and a selection of New Testament scriptures.
Known to enjoy dancing and music, their first dance as a married couple was to Johnny Rivers’ “Swayin’ to the Music”.
