Pentatonix's Scott Hoying Marries Fiancé Mark Manio
Pentatonix group member Scott Hoying is officially a married man. The singer recently tied the knot with partner Mark Manio in a ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California, and Hoying says he feels like the "luckiest man on earth," People reported.
"I feel like all of our life experiences and choices, and ups and downs, have led us to each other and this is the moment where the people we love most get to see us truly make the leap," said Hoying. "I knew pretty early on that Mark was my dream man and I genuinely feel like the luckiest man on earth to get to marry him."
Hoying and Manio, who had been dating for six years, said they wanted their wedding to be a "timeless, unique experience."
"Mark and I both have a deep love for the beach and the ocean and some of our favorite, romantic, lifelong memories together are by the beach," said Hoying, who popped the question in the Bahamas in April 2022.
Their friend Christina Perri acted as the officiant, and the grooms walked down the aisle to "Can't Help Falling in Love," sung by Kina Grannis.
"That's our favorite love song of all time from our favorite scene of our favorite movie," Hoying says. "We've had countless nights over the years of dancing in each other's arms to this beautiful song. Sometimes we turn the movie on just to watch that specific scene, so it's truly our dream scenario for the wedding processional and we are so grateful to have Kina lend her gorgeous talents to our big day."
Not to be musically outdone, Hoying surprised Manio with a performance of his new song, "Four," which he wrote for Manio after their engagement last year. The song will be featured on Hoying's new EP, "Parallel," which is set for release on July 28.
"The song is one of my favorite songs I have ever written, as it is a love letter I dedicated to Mark after we had dated for four years, and I can barely sing it without crying," he says.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
