Mariah Carey Already Talking Babies

Mariah Carey really did get married to Nick
Cannon in the Bahamas last week - and they have the tattoos to
prove it.
The 38-year-old singer and the 27-year-old actor confirmed to
People magazine that they tied the knot at Carey's Bahamian estate
April 30 after a courtship that began in late March.
In an interview from the magazine's May 19 issue, Cannon said
they clicked instantly when Carey cast him as a lover in the video
for her new single, "Bye Bye."
"From the first time we sat down to discuss the video at the
Beverly Hills Hotel, we connected," Cannon said. "We had so much
in common spiritually, and we laugh at the same things. I didn't
have to put on my Mac Daddy suave mode. I was able to be myself
with her. We are both eternally 12 years old."
They began a whirlwind romance, and raised eyebrows when Carey
was seen sporting a huge diamond ring on her finger at the Tribeca
Film Festival premiere of her movie "Tennessee," in which she
plays a waitress. Carey said she told "only about four people"
about the wedding.
Were Carey's friends surprised?
"Some were, but some weren't," she said. "One thing (few
people) knew was we got tattoos a few weeks earlier. So anyone who
saw my (Mrs. Cannon) tattoo wasn't surprised."
Chiming in, Cannon said, "To me rings are special and exciting,
but tattoos mean more than anything. They're forever and ever. They
professed our love."
A dozen guests attended their sunset wedding, where they served
Maine lobster and Dom Perignon champagne. The bride wore a gown by
Nile Cmylo that showed off her curves and faded from off-white to
pale pink.
"My pastor Clarence Keaton flew in from New York," Carey said.
"The whole wedding was really beautiful and sweet. Being there
with loved ones under the sky ... it was a spiritual moment."
Cannon said he was speechless watching Carey walk down the
aisle: "I was elated, but I was thinking, `Don't pass out.' ...
(The pastor) said, `The eyes are the window to the soul,' then gave
us an entire minute to stare into each other's eyes. So I was
saying, `Don't cry."'
The pair said they've thought about having kids.
"It's part of the whole purpose of getting married," Carey
said. "I'd just want our children to have the best childhood and
upbringing they possibly could."
