The wedding ceremony was attended by the couple’s close family and friends, along with many high-profile politicians.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott, a former GOP presidential candidate, married fiancée Mindy Noce in a South Carolina chapel at the weekend.
Scott, 58, married Noce, a 47-year-old interior designer, in Seacoast Church in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, on Aug. 3, according to local media The Post and Courier.
Scott shared some wedding photos on X, along with a Bible verse that read, “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
The ceremony was attended by the couple’s close family and friends, along with Scott’s fellow Republicans, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).
Also in attendance were South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), former North Carolina Rep. Mark Walker, and former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy.
The couple got engaged in January. They first met at a church in 2022 and connected during a Bible study, according to local media.
Scott said in an interview with The Post and Courier before his wedding that he believed now was the right time to get married.
“Part of the blessing for me was not getting married before now,” he told the news outlet. “Right girl, wrong time is a mess. Wrong girl, right time is chaos.”
Former President Donald Trump congratulated the newlyweds on his social media platform Truth Social.
