Mariah Carey has been at the vanguard of weirdness for years because she reportedly refuses to be photographed from the right, and throws hissy fits if made to walk up or down stairs. Now comes news, in Who and OK!, that the popster has married the singer-actor-producer Nick Cannon, six weeks after they began dating. No pictures or comments from the couple feature, and the only relevant image shows Carey’s Bahamian island home, the site of the ceremony. Fingers crossed they aren’t climbing the Pyramids on their honeymoon.

Singer Mariah Carey has confirmed she secretly tied the knot with Nick Cannon - by giving her wedding photos to People magazine.
Photos from the couple’s secret wedding on the beach in the Bahamas are on the front cover of the US magazine.
Inside Mariah says the couple are ’soul mates’ who knew they were in love the moment they met six weeks ago Following their sunset ceremony at the pop star’s Bahamian estate on April 30, Mariah said: “We really do feel we are soulmates.
“I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me!
“It’s comforting and something I’ve never felt before. Which is really being in love and happy with someone who really understands me and isn’t trying to do anything but make me happy. It’s wonderful.
“I don’t think anyone realised what we already knew - that we were going to get married.
“People were very skeptical and told him: ‘You can never get past her people’. I only knew that he’d say nice things about me. “I told people: ‘I like him and want him to do it (her music video)’.
“The song was a love story. It was perfect for us.
“Only about four people knew we were going down there to get married .
“Once we were there they gave me a bachelorette party. Everyone calls me Mary Poppins.
“No matter how provocatively I might dress, I’m very prudish. So they did everything they could to shock me.
“They had a grab bag full of silly things they think a bachelorette wants. They were so happy they got to embarrass me.”
Fellow singer and actor Nick also told People magazine how happy the couple are since falling in love on the set of Mariah’s music video for the single Bye Bye six weeks ago.
Nick, 27, added: “She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside.
“It feels amazing. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. I’ve been smiling for days.
“In our minds it was a love at first sight thing. Since we’ve been together we’ve been inseparable.
“I’d always admired Mariah from afar but once we connected I felt it was destined. This has to be my wife.
“From the first time we sat down to discuss the video at the Beverly Hills Hotel we connected.
“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.
The couple also had matching tattoos to celebrate their love for each other.
Mariah told People magazine: “One thing few people knew was we got tattoos a few weeks earlier.
“So anyone who saw my Mrs Cannon tattoo wasn’t surprised.”
And Nick added: “To me the rings are special and exciting but the tattoos mean more than anything.
“They’re forever and ever. They professed our love.”
Asked how the ceremony was Mariah told People: “We got married at sunset on the beach.
“We were trying to get the really golden light. It was late - of course I was late, it’s just in my DNA!
“We had a white carpet on the sand that went to the water’s edge.
“My pastor Clarence Keaton flew in from New York. The whole wedding was really beautiful and sweet.
“Being there with loved ones under the sky, it was a spiritual moment.
“When I was walking down the aisle I was thinking: ‘My veil is blowing all over the place!!’
“It was really windy. I was nervous. We didn’t know if they would make us speak.
“With the sun setting on the turquoise water, we kissed.
“He carried me into the water.”
And Nick added: “We had our passionate wedding kiss. The I swooped her off her feet.”
And asked of the couple are already thinking of having kids, Nick said: “Absolutely.”
Mariah revealed: “Yes. It’s part of the whole purpose of getting married.
“I just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could.”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon did not get married in the Bahamas, it has been confirmed.
The couple is at the centre of frenzied speculation, with multiple reports saying they tied the knot this week in a sudden ceremony at Carey’s home in the island nation.
But officials in the capital Nassau revealed they have not issued a license for the pair - required by law before a wedding can officially take place.
Carey and Cannon met during the shoot of her latest video just weeks ago and almost immediately became a couple, despite her being 11 years his senior.
Earlier this week it emerged Cannon had given her an engagement ring, said to be worth GBP1.25m.
Amid suspicions of a possible publicity stunt, gossip website Latina.com claimed yesterday (Thursday) they married in a small, “very impulsive” ceremony.
Since then, various sources have claimed the wedding took place at Carey’s multi-million pounds mansion in the Bahamian island of Eleuthera.
Cannon’s family have also reportedly confirmed the “news” to a US publication.
But an officer at the Bahamas Wedding Registry confirmed they had not made the necessary arrangements for marrying in the Caribbean nation.
Not only do they require a license from the registry prior to the ceremony; as non-Bahamians they would also need to be interviewed by officials before the document can be approved.
This has not taken place neither has the office had any contact from the couple or their representatives, according to the official.
