A beautiful moment was captured by friends and family of a Pentatonix singer who married his long-term boyfriend in California on Friday.
Scott Hoying, 31, famously known as one of the founders of acapella group Pentatonix, has tied the knot with his partner, Mark Manio, 32, in a wonderfully stylish wedding in Santa Barbara.
With a timeless aesthetic, the duo began their big day with an outdoor ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara at sunset, and wore custom, off-white tuxedos by R. Swiader in front of those they love.

What’s even more magical, is that fellow Pentatonix singer and friend Christina Perri acted as their officiant as they exchanged handwritten vows and were serenaded with the song 'I Can’t Help Falling in Love'.
Sharing their special day with fans, they both took to their personal Instagram accounts to share some snaps of the décor, ceremony, and party.
In a photo of themselves holding hands just moments after saying ‘I do’, they wrote the caption: 'Introducing Mr. & Mr. Scott & Mark Hoying’.

Speaking with People, Hoying gushed over his husband and wedding day: "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.
"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."
As well as celebrating their love, they also got to enjoy Manio's birthday when planning their wedding.
With a guestlist full of celebrities including Colton Haynes, Adam Rippon, Brittany Broski, Randy Jackson, Betty Who and the rest of Pentatonix (Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee), it’s clear that this was an epic day like no other.

Hoying admitted that they wanted a “big, epic wedding because our families are very close-knit, passionate and supportive of our love, which we think is so special” and that they wanted it to be an even that “celebrates not only us, but our entire families on both sides—a moment we could cherish forever.”
Choosing an all-white theme, the pair were looking to create a “grandiose” and unique experience, “like nothing else we've ever experienced, just like our love for each other.”
Which, by the look of the pictures was something that came true!
Hoying even brought his angelic voice into the mix and surprised Manio with a performance of his new song Four- a love letter written for him after their engagement last year.

After meeting in Los Angeles in 2017 at a friend's birthday party, the duo has just recently celebrated their six-year anniversary last month.
Now, Hoying and Manio can look forward to their honeymoon in Punta Mita, Mexico, while planning their happy future together.
As Hoying has already plans for fatherhood as he gushed about his husband: “He just loves life, loves people, loves every single part of me.”
“I just know he is going to be the most amazing father in the world to our children.”
