More news has been revealed about Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's alleged wedding.
A source told People that Carey obtained a marriage license on the Caribbean island of Eleuthera, where the marriage reportedly took place.
This contradicts the report that several days ago MTV called the Register's Office in Eleuthera, but were told no one under the names Mariah Carey or Nick Cannon filed for a marriage license.
Bahamian attorney Monique Gomez said marriage requirements on the island specify that both parties must be over the age of 16, and they must have obtained a valid marriage license within 90 days of the ceremony and have been in the country for at least 48 hours.
Meanwhile, there is still no official confirmation, but news is trickling out slowly.
Cannon's relative Linda told E! News, "He called and told us all about [the wedding]."
Jeweler Jacob Arabo, who created the engagement ring Cannon gave to Carey, revealed to People that Cannon went to Jacob & Co. two weeks ago to design the 17 carat, $2.5 million sparkler.
"The way [Cannon] came into the store, the mood he was in, I knew this was very serious," Arabo told People. "He said 'Jacob, I'm in love. This is what I want to do.'"
He added that Cannon was very involved in selecting the ring, which had previously been believed to be the same ring Cannon gave to ex-fiancée, Selita Ebanks.
"It may look similar from afar but it's not the same," Arabo said. "I would never do one of the same he had before."
The jeweler also told People about the compatibility of the couple: "[Nick] is an artist, she's an artist, so they have a lot in common. He was very, very happy. Happier than I have ever seen him. I've known him four or five years and this was a really happy moment for him, in his life."
E! News reported that a local who works for the island's leading wedding officiant verified that Carey and Cannon's marriage took place on Wednesday, April 30. She also said confirmed that rapper Da Brat and two other celebrities were in attendence, although she declined to reveal the names.
Henrietta White, who works for the island's floral shop, also told E! News: "My son did the flowers for the wedding."
Another source revealed that, as of Thursday night, the two were still on the island.
