Pentatonix Singer Scott Hoying Marries Model Mark Manio
Pentatonix baritone Scott Hoying has married his partner of six years, Mark Manio.
The star-studded seaside ceremony took place Friday at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California. In attendance was "Jar of Hearts" singer Christina Perri, who officiated, along with Colton Haynes, Randy Jackson, Betty Who, and Hoying's Pentatonix bandmates.
Ahead of the wedding, Hoying told People, "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."
Speaking of Manio, he added, "I knew pretty early on that [he] was my dream man and I genuinely feel like the luckiest man on earth to get to marry him."
On what drew the couple to a beach wedding, Hoying shared, "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." In 2022, the Pentatonix singer proposed to Manio during a vacation in the Bahamas.
The pair, decked out in all-white suits, walked down the aisle to a live performance of "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Kina Grannis, who also played the song during a key moment in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians.
"That's our favorite love song of all time from our favorite scene of our favorite movie," Hoying told People. "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," he added, "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."
At the reception that evening, Hoying surprised Manio with a performance of "Four," an unreleased song he wrote following their engagement, set to appear on his upcoming Parallel EP.
The couple shared footage of the intimate moment on their Instagram accounts with the caption, "easily the best day of our lives."
"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," Hoying said.
The importance of celebrating queer love is not lost on Hoying. "Getting married to each other means everything," he said. "I think we, like so many queer people growing up, wonder if they’ll ever even come out, and if they'll ever find love, and for some of us, if gay marriage would ever be legal."
"The fact that all of those obstacles ended up working out in the end is a really beautiful thing and only makes us cherish each other more."
