‘Sunday Night in America’ viewer asks about Tim Scott’s wedding
Fox News host Trey Gowdy discusses his friend Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott’s wedding.
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."

Seacoast Church’s founding pastor, Greg Surratt, one of Scott’s long-time friends and mentors, officiated the wedding. The wedding party consisted of Scott's brother and Noce's best friend.
The ceremony included readings from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, and a selection of New Testament scriptures.
The couple danced their first dance to "Swayin' to the Music" by Johnny Rivers.
