Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., married fiancée Mindy Noce Saturday in a South Carolina ceremony.

Scott, 58, and Noce, 47, were married in the chapel at Charleston’s Seacoast Church, according to local newspaper The Post and Courier. The Republican senator announced their nuptials afterward in a post on his personal X account on Saturday just before 9 p.m. 

“Tonight, we promised to cherish and nourish each other and our marriage for the rest of our lives,” Scott posted. “Mindy, you’ve made me the happiest man alive. I love you.”

The senator then quoted a Bible verse, Matthew 19:6, that reads, “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Noce, who is an interior designer in South Carolina, grew up in a military family with a father who was in the Navy and brothers who went to military school. She and Scott were engaged earlier this year after church friends tried to set them up on a pickleball date. 

Fox News’ Bailee Hill contributed to this report. 

“Tonight, we promised to cherish and nourish each other and our marriage for the rest of our lives,” Scott wrote, sharing images of himself and Noce. “Mindy, you’ve made me the happiest man alive. I love you.”

He then shared the quote: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Scott’s wedding to the 47-year-old interior designer was officiated by Seacoast founder Pastor Greg Surratt, who also counselled the senator during his GOP presidential bid, the Post and Courier reported. Scott’s older brother Ben was his best man at the wedding. Joni Blair, Noce’s best friend, served as her maid of honour.

Noce met Scott through a mutual friend back in 2022. Scott previously described her as a “lovely Christian girl.” Noce was seen with Scott on stage at the end of the third Republican debate on November 8 last year. A campaign statement later said that the woman with Scott “is his girlfriend Mindy.”

Scott and Noce got engaged in January this year after he proposed to her, saying it is “’the most exciting thing I’ll do with my life besides making Jesus my Lord.” He asked her to marry him on the beach in Kiawah Island in South Carolina.

‘Part of the blessing for me was not getting married before now,’

During their wedding, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota were among guests inside the chapel. Also present were South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Sen. John Barrasso of Pennsylvania, former US Rep. Mark Walker of North Carolina, former Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, and former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy.

Scott said that his wedding is a “blessing.” “Part of the blessing for me was not getting married before now,” he told the Post and Courier. He added that it took some time for him to learn certain harsh truths about love, saying, “Right girl, wrong time is a mess. Wrong girl, right time is chaos.”

“Like everybody else, I think we pretty selfishly want what we want. I think marriage helps you understand that maybe it’s not the only mission on the planet to get what you want, but it is to help others enjoy the journey of life, as well to be an ambassador of hope,” Scott added.

Widespread storms, damaging winds and the potential for flash flooding are possible in the South Carolina Midlands as a cyclone expected to become Tropical Storm Debby makes its way across the Southeast next week, the National Weather Service said Saturday.

“Significant” rainfall is expected to begin Saturday, Aug. 3, and continue overnight. The National Weather Service also warned of damaged trees and power lines.

The University of South Carolina also issued a flash flood warning for its Columbia campus and advised community members to use caution in low-lying areas.

The tropical cyclone could bring hurricane conditions Sunday to the Florida Gulf Coast. A hurricane watch is in effect, and there is a possibility for “life-threatening” storm surges in the area.

Gov. Henry McMaster has authorized emergency aid for Florida ahead of the impending weather, after the state requested emergency assistance in preparation for Tropical Storm Debby.

The governor signed an executive order placing the South Carolina National Guard on state duty in support of Florida, according to a news release. About 70 service members will be activated, and 30 high-water vehicles will be deployed. Additional resources may be provided as needed.
