Pentatonix's Scott Hoying Marries Fiancé Mark Manio in Romantic Seaside Wedding: 'Luckiest Man on Earth' (Exclusive)
The happy couple tied the knot on Friday in Santa Barbara, California
Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying has found his happily ever after with husband Mark Manio.
The happy couple tied the knot on Friday in an intimate, star-studded black tie ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California after six years of dating.
"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," Hoying tells PEOPLE. "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, 31, and Manio, 32, say that in planning their wedding, they wanted a "timeless, unique experience," and felt drawn to Santa Barbara after previously celebrating Manio's birthday in the seaside locale.
"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," says Hoying, who popped the question in the Bahamas in April 2022.
For their ceremony, the couple opted for all-white florals, and exchanged handwritten vows beneath a baby’s breath archway, with singer and friend Christina Perri acting as their officiant.
On hand as the grooms walked down a mirrored floor aisle was musician Kina Grannis, who sang "Can't Help Falling in Love," just as she did in a pivotal scene in the 2018 movie Crazy Rich Asians.
"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."
Both Hoying and Manio wore custom, off-white wedding tuxedos created by R. Swiader, and later changed into custom reception outfits better suited for the dance floor. The reception wear was the same color as the ceremony tuxes, just redesigned as a short-sleeved button-up. Hoying says he and Manio went for looks that were "different but cohesive," and were thrilled by the "gorgeous silk material" thanks to its shimmery quality.
When it came to the reception, it was all about music for the couple, who curated their own playlist to ensure that guests were able to "dance the night away."
Hoying even surprised Manio with a performance of his new song "Four," which the baritone singer wrote for the model after their engagement last year. The track will feature 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.
For their first dance, the couple asked Loren Allred to perform "Never Enough" from The Greatest Showman, as Hoying says they had the song "on repeat when we were first falling in love."
Guests including Colton Haynes, Adam Rippon, Brittany Broski, Randy Jackson, Betty Who and of course, Hoying's Pentatonix group mates noshed on braised beef short-rib with parsnip mousseline and wilted rainbow chard, seared free-range chicken breast with porcini mushroom risotto and vegetable lasagna. The couple also incorporated some of Manio's favorite Filipino dishes into the lineup, including lumpia and lechon, plus bao buns, crab cakes, chicken kebabs and mango mochi.
For dessert, they served a chocolate buttermilk cake designed in the shape of wings, and also included a donut and dessert wall.
Though they went with an all-white theme for the ceremony, the reception was the opposite — twinkling lights and chandeliers illuminated all-black floors and draping, while white and cream florals throughout the ballroom offered a warm touch. The tables, just like the aisle, were also mirrored, as Hoying says they "wanted the space to feel like we were dancing among the stars."
"We wanted a big, epic wedding because our families are very close-knit, passionate and supportive of our love, which we think is so special," he explains. "We wanted this to be an event that celebrates not only us, but our entire families on both sides—a moment we could cherish forever. "We really wanted it to be grandiose and like nothing else we’ve ever experienced, just like our love for each other.”
The entire wedding weekend, planned with Orange Blossom Special Events, was filled with surprises for guests, starting with a welcome dinner and drinks that featured an upright piano primed for karaoke. The big day itself included an audio guestbook for friends and family to leave messages on an old rotary phone, and there was also a tattoo artist and a photo booth that splashed guests on the cover of a magazine. The three-day event — into which their puppy Mozart was also incorporated — concluded with a farewell brunch on a bluff overlooking the ocean.
"My family absolutely adores Mark, and his family are the most wonderful, fun, warm people in the whole world," says Hoying. "We are so fortunate and lucky to have these incredible support systems in our lives!"
The big day was a long time coming for the pair, who first met in Los Angeles in 2017 at a friend's birthday party. Hoying, who appeared with Pentatonix on The Masked Singer earlier this year, arrived late at the get-together because he was coming from a music video shoot, and immediately set his sights on Manio.
"We talked the whole night and really it off," he recalls. "We started hanging every single day, and I remember being blown away at how warm, wholesome and sweet Mark was. It was such a refreshing energy that I couldn’t get enough of. People always say that six years later, we still haven’t lost our 'honeymoon phase,' and we couldn't agree more."
Manio, too, is full of praise for his husband, calling Hoying "passionate, brave, inspiring, hard-working… and caring, tender and deeply honest and sincere."
"He is truly one-of-a-kind," says Manio. "He leads through life with such a unique, electrifying presence. And of course, he is the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on. He lights up my life in every single way."
With their wedding now behind them, Hoying says the couple will head to Punta Mita, Mexico for their honeymoon — and that they already "talk every day about starting a big ol' family."
"Getting married to each other means everything. 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," he says.
He continues: "What I love about Mark is that he is the most loving, gentle, genuinely kind ray of sunshine that you’ll ever meet—always! It's like a superpower. 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."

Small Vegetable Garden Ideas & Tips – Garden Design
Is your garden bed a twin size versus a king? Or maybe you have no land at all, and only a tiny balcony or patio. No problem. As long as you can find a sunny location, either on the ground or in mid-air, you can satisfy your appetite for freshly picked produce.
You're reading: Small Vegetable Garden Ideas & Tips – Garden Design
Even in a small 4-foot by 4-foot bed like this, you can grow plenty of vegetables. Photo by: Arina P Habich | Shutterstock.
“Almost everyone has access to more space than they realize. It just takes a little creative thinking to see it,” says Andrea Bellamy, in her book Small-Space Vegetable Gardens. A rooftop, alleyway, front porch, and even a fire escape are all viable spots for growing vegetables. The keys to success are careful planning and making the most of what you’ve got.
MAXIMIZE YOUR SPACE

Grow vegetables in containers
If growing in the ground is not an option due to space limitations, poor soil, or lack of sun, containers are great alternatives. When growing edibles in pots, choose patio or dwarf varieties and shallow-rooted plants such as lettuce, radishes, garlic, and leeks. For containers, you can use almost anything that holds soil—from fabric grow bags to old metal wash buckets—as long as you provide good drainage, says Bellamy. Remember that container plants need more water than those in the ground, it’s best not to let them completely dry out. Also be sure to fertilize your containers during the growing season, using an organic fertilizer such as liquid kelp.

Grow vegetables in raised beds
Raised garden beds are also a great option—if you have a level foundation on which to build them. Compared with in-ground beds, they offer the advantages of easier access, better drainage, and faster warming of the soil in the spring. “Digging and tilling beds in the ground is great, but it can take a few years to build up really good soil. Raised beds filled with a mix of good soil and compost will get beginners off to a good start. Even a bed as small as 4×4 feet will hold a lot of vegetables and be manageable,” says Susie Middleton, an avid kitchen gardener and the author of numerous cookbooks including, Simple Green Suppers: A Fresh Strategy for One-Dish Vegetarian Meals.
To learn more about materials and layouts for raised beds, see How to Lay Out and Build Raised Bed Gardens.

Grow vegetables vertically
If you want to plant vining vegetables such as pole beans, cucumbers, and squash, give them something for their tendrils to grab on to like a trellis, fence, or netting. Gardening up not only saves space, it also creates structure and visual interest. “I like to plant cucumbers against the garden fence or up a trellis to save space; each plant only needs about a foot of space in the garden,” says Middleton.
Trellises come in countless shapes, styles, and materials. But you can easily make your own using simple bamboo poles secured at the top to form a tepee shape. If you have space on a sunny exterior wall, Bellamy recommends growing herbs and shallow-rooted vegetables in wall-mounted planters or modular green wall systems.
For more vertical gardening ideas, see Arbors, Trellises, and the Edible Garden

Create an edible landscape
Edible landscaping is a creative and attractive solution to growing vegetables in a front yard or other conspicuous location. Try mixing ornamental vegetables and herbs into the perennial garden or tuck them into containers. They can also be attractive on their own, especially if you combine various colors and textures.
For ideas, see Aiming for Aesthetic Edibles.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST VEGETABLES FOR SMALL GARDENS
Be productive When you only have limited garden space to work with, choose plants that will give you big yields in a small area. Many vegetables and herbs have compact cultivars that are container friendly and ideal for small gardens. (See below for 12 great space-saving edibles to grow.)
Make priorities In a small garden, you have little room to experiment or plant crops that will go to waste. Make priorities by planting what you love, what’s unique, and what will thrive. Also plant what tastes best freshly picked. “Lettuce meets all my qualifications for a perfect crop,” says Bellamy. “I use a lot of it, and it tastes best straight from the garden. It’s also fast growing, attractive, space efficient, and easy to grow.”
Come back for more Many types of garden greens will feed you throughout the growing season if you harvest them continuously. These “cut-and-come” vegetables keep on giving by sprouting new leaves when the outer leaves are snipped off. Examples include loose-leaf lettuce, chard, kale, collard greens, mesclun, and escarole. “Lettuce varieties like ‘Salad Bowl’ and ‘Red Salad Bowl’ are great for containers or any small space. Instead of letting the lettuce head up, you can pick the outer leaves continuously,” says Middleton.

‘Bright Lights’ chard
This attractive cut-and-comer features a colorful mix of yellow, ruby red, and white stalks. It’s also cold-hardy and tolerates light shade.

‘Red Russian’ kale
With lovely saw-toothed gray-green leaves and red veining, this delicious kale is pretty enough to plant among flowers in containers and garden beds. It’s well-suited for small spaces because it can be seeded thickly and then cut as baby greens when only a few inches high.

‘Sugar Ann’ snap pea
While most peas need a trellis to climb, there are dwarf varieties, such as ‘Sugar Ann’, that grow no taller than 24 inches and don’t need staking. “I love growing dwarf snap peas around the edge of containers. They trail over the side and look very pretty when they bloom,” says Bellamy.

‘Astia’ zucchini
Zucchini has a reputation for taking over the garden, with its rambling vines that are almost impossible to tame. ‘Astia’ is a French bush variety bred specifically for containers and small gardens, growing only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. The plant is not only an abundant producer, it’s also highly ornamental with large silvery-green, indented leaves.

‘French Breakfast’ radish Short-rooted radishes, such as this heirloom variety, can be grown in containers only 6 inches deep. ‘French Breakfast’ has 1 ¾-inch oblong roots that are crisp and mildly spicy. The radishes reach maturity in just 25 days, making this a great crop for succession planting.

‘Mascotte’ bush bean
Both pole beans and bush beans can be grown in containers and small gardens, but pole beans require vertical support, while bush varieties, such as ‘Mascotte’, have a sturdy, upright form that needs no staking. ‘Mascotte’ is a French-style green bean that grows to a height of only 18 inches. Despite its compact size, it’s a heavy producer, yielding an abundance of tender 6-inch-long stringless beans that sit on the top of the foliage for easier picking.

‘Ambition’ shallot
Why pay a premium price for shallots at the produce market when it’s so convenient to grow your own? Shallots require far less space to grow than other members of the onion family and have a more delicate flavor with a hint of garlic. ‘Ambition’ is a high-yielding variety that produces large, long-keeping bulbs and is easy to grow from seed.

‘Patio Baby’ eggplant
This prolific dwarf eggplant produces egg-shaped, 2-to 3-inch purple-black fruits that lack the bitterness of larger varieties. One plant fits comfortably in an 18-inch container, with no staking required. Each plant produces as many as 50 baby eggplants that can be harvested throughout the season. Use along with ‘Spicy Globe’ basil in this delicious recipe for eggplant balls.
PLAN FOR BETTER YIELDS
Keep ‘em coming Keep your small garden productive throughout the growing season by planting a series of crops in succession in a garden bed or container, starting with cool-season, early-maturing crops in the spring followed by mid-season and late-summer vegetables that will last until fall. “The idea of succession planting is to not let valuable garden space sit idle, and to be ready to plant something new whenever a space opens up,” says Bellamy. The same technique can also be used to extend the growing season for one type of crop, particularly fast-maturing edibles such as radishes and beans. By planting them in two- to three-week intervals they will reach maturity at different times.
Choose good companions Interplanting is similar in concept to succession planting, except that you maximize yields by pairing up different crops that are good companions and grow at different rates. For example, you can plant sugar snap peas in early spring and plant pole beans among them. By the time the peas are spent, the beans will be ready to take their place.
Succession planting and companion planting and great ways to increase your yield when growing vegetables in a raised bed—the only downside is that they won’t really work in containers.
Stretch the growing season Vegetable gardens aren’t just for the warm-weather months of May through September. There are many cool-season crops that will thrive in the ground or in containers well into fall, and some will even survive a nip of frost. See these suggestions for 15 fall vegetables.

Thanks to Chef Gordon Ramsay’s satirical wit, the catty comments from competitors, the oh-so-delicious gourmet dishes, and of course… the drama! What makes Masterchef such a coveted title isn’t a mystery to this season’s contestants. But before anyone gets to the top, they’ve got to ride through the downs of the worst dishes! Ready to find out which ones made it to Season 8’s top 10 Masterchef worst dishes? Season 8 of the American competitive reality TV series MasterChef premiered on Fox on May 31, 2017. Gordon Ramsay and Christina Tosi returned as judges while Aarón Sanchez joined the cast as the third judge. The season was won by Dino Angelo Luciano with Eboni Henry and Jason Wang finishing as co-runners-up for the white apron. Please comment #GordonRamsay #MasterChef #MasterChefSeason8 if you like these Top 10 Worst Moments and Dishes from MasterChef Season 8. TIMESTAMPS: 0:30 Difficult To Look At Pancakes 1:19 Dry, Gray, Scrambled Eggs 2:27 Jennifer’s Fish and Chips 3:41 Confused Hanger Steak Dish 4:50 Reba’s Coconut Shrimp 5:51 Murky Broth and Undercooked Dumplings 7:01 Adam’s Raw Chicken 8:20 Rough Chocolate Truffles 9:30 Raw Salmon 10:51 Underbaked Soufflé SUMMARY: - Mark’s dish, unfortunately, didn’t quite hit the mark. His pancake with baked eggs, bacon, and cilantro failed to impress Gordon Ramsay. - Unfortunately for Heather, her eggs had too much pepper. It was so bad, it made Chef Christina Tosi gag and cough! Her eggs were also too gray from too much of the black pepper. - The challenge was to recreate Gordon’s British fish and chips in 45 minutes. Fish and chips is a English classic. - The elimination challenge was to cook hanger steak. It’s a prized cut. But cook it the wrong way, and it becomes inedible. - Everyone had to make an incredible dish starring coconut. Unfortunately for Reba, her coconut shrimp with asparagus and coconut sauce didn’t sit well with the judges. - Jenny wasn’t comfortable making broth from the get-go and it certainly showed in her dish. Her dish was also salty. The murky broth was a result of using too much heat. - As for Adam… Unfortunately, his chicken was....RAW!!! And raw chicken is a capital offense in Ramsay’s book. - Even if his flavor was perfect, Daniel’s ganache wasn’t smooth enough. At this point everything was about the details and the judges just weren’t having it. - Yachecia, who had 40 minutes on the clock, made sweet and hot salmon with braised swiss chard, Tuscan white beans, and Citrus Cream Sauce. - Chef Christina thought that Cate’s cheese souffles were a little bit more sturdy but underbaked in the center. An under-baked souffle does NOT make a souffle.
