If the rampant online reports are to be believed, Mariah Carey's low-key second wedding was very different than the million-dollar extravaganza she put on for her first trip down the aisle. Latina magazine reported on Thursday (May 1) that Carey, 38, and actor/rapper Nick Cannon, 27, were married in a small ceremony on an undisclosed island on Wednesday in what an unnamed source called a "very impulsive" ceremony. Among the reported guests at the intimate affair was longtime Carey confidant rapper Da Brat.

At press time, reps for Carey and Cannon either had not responded or could not be reached for comment. While speculation has been swirling all week about a large diamond ring Carey has been sporting lately — which some gossip sites snarkily reported looked an awful lot like the ring Cannon had given to his ex-fiancee before they parted ways — UsMagazine.com reported Thursday that Cannon's ex, model Selita Ebanks, had nothing to say about the alleged nuptials. "I have no comment but wish them well," Ebanks told the magazine.

Cannon danced around MTV News' questions about rumors of the pair's engagement earlier this week. "I can't even know what to say. She's probably the most festive, remarkable person I've ever met. Good friend," Cannon told MTV News on Monday. When pressed further about the rumors, he said, "Rumors happen. They do."
The couple reportedly met in March when Cannon directed the video for Carey's new single, "Bye Bye," and Us reported that an unnamed "inside" source said the romance was "hot and heavy." Carey, who divorced her ex-label boss Tommy Mottola in 1998, has been linked to a few famous men in the interim, singer Luis Miguel and baseball player Derek Jeter among them, and has long been rumored to be dating a member of her management team, Mark Sudack. Rumors about her romance with Cannon heated up on April 15, when People.com reported that the couple had shared a romantic night out in Las Vegas. Spokespeople for Carey and Cannon had no comment on the rumored wedding at press time.

Yep, they did it! If there was any doubt Mariah Carey
and Nick Cannon's wedding was the real deal, they answer the question
once and for all in this week's issue of PEOPLE, speaking for the first
time about their surprise nuptials – and showing off exclusive photos
from their April 30 ceremony.


"We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey tells PEOPLE,
following their sunset ceremony at the pop star's Bahamian estate. "I
never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."


Cannon adds: "She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside."

Lets see how long this one will last

It's true! According to a relative of the groom, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have indeed tied the knot. Linda Cannon, a family member of Nick's, confirmed to E! News that the wedding happened. "He called and told us all about it," said Linda.


There has been no official confirmation of the nuptials, but Latina magazine reported that after dating less than two months, the pair got hitched in an impromptu ceremony on an island.

Just last week, Carey attended the TriBeCa Film Festival premiere of her film Tennessee sporting a huge rock on her left ring finger – a $2.5 million, 17-carat diamond ring
from Jacob & Co. jewelers. Sources say Cannon, 27, and Carey, 39,
became involved after he appeared in the video for her song "Bye, Bye."


This is the second marriage for Carey, who divorced music exec
Tommy Mottola in 1998, and the second engagement for Cannon, who split
from Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks last year. (No stranger to
quick decisions, Cannon proposed to Ebanks after less than four months
of dating.)


"I'm not going to give you any details," Cannon's relative added, declining to confirm the New York Post's report
that the nuptials took place at Carey's private estate off the
Caribbean island of Eleuthera. "If that is what he wants, then we are
happy for him."

Now I know how Mariah and Nick got together. I just saw her new video for Bye Bye and they were getting hot and kissing on each other. Maybe that started the whole love affair. They looked good together.

Mariah Carey, 39, married Nick Cannon, 27, in a private affair on April 30th.

"We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey tells People. "I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."

Newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon embrace during their first
public outing as husband and wife at Time's 100 Most Influential People
in the World gala. They are joined by L.A. Reid, Richard Parsons and
Gayle King.

"She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside." Cannon tells People.
