New Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon News


Another person has come forward confirming Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's April 30 nuptials in the Bahamas.

Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God in the Caribbean told People that he presided over the wedding. Petty's church is based in Eleuthera, where the couple received their marriage license, but the Bishop did not say whether the ceremony took place there.

And others have also come out of the woodwork, expressing their reactions to the sudden nuptials.

"I'm shell shocked," a source in Carey's camp told People. "As far as I know, they are happy together."

Music mogel Russell Simmons said that while he was surprised by the wedding news, he understands why the pairing works. "Whatever makes them happy," he said on Friday. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together.

"It's crazy right! We're definitely happy. Well wishes!" Cannon's brother, Gabriel, told People. "I'm trying to be like him and I love him very much."

However, others close to Cannon seemed dubious of the news.

"This is what Nick does; Nick is such a sucker for love," a source close to the singer-actor said. "He falls in love so quick."

"We all thought it was a joke, but he's been impulsive before. He's a mini mogul but still young and maybe this was a crush that went too far," another source close to Cannon said. "Well see. He takes awhile to come down from the cloud."

One insider said Carey and Cannon did not meet until March 26, when they shot the video for Carey's "Bye, Bye" in the Caribbean together.

"Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their [romance] started during the shoot," the insider said. "She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."

Meanwhile, those who were hoping to hear first-hand about the wedding news are in for a disappointment. Producers of "The View" confirmed to "Extra" that the singer cancelled a planned appearance, which was scheduled to be taped May 5.
