Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon DID get married

Tbdmariahcarey050508 By now we all know platinum diva Mariah Carey and, uh, actor Nick Cannon got married this week, but nobody's really confirming anything. But since The Juice* takes its rumors and innuendo seriously, we've managed to piece together what may have gone down.

"He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him," family member Linda Cannon told E! Online. "I’m not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

We don't need Linda's ol' details, though, since the New York Post says the couple got married after dating for one month at the house Mariah just bought in Eleuthera, Bahamas, according to a source.

People also digs up that Mariah and Nick obtained a valid marriage license and met legal requirements for a ceremony, meaning they had to be in the country for at least 48 hours, be over the age of 16 and have obtained a license within 90 days, according to Monique Gomez, a Bahamian attorney.

E! Online says a rep for jeweler Jacob & Co. confirmed that Nick paid $2.5 million for the 17-carat engagement ring she's been wearing, although they didn't say if it still the same setting as seen on his former fiancee Selita Ebanks' finger last year. The Victoria's Secret model's people did tell the Post that she returned her ring to Cannon. For the record, you could pretty much buy the Isle of Man for 17 carats.

But we haven't gotten to the funny part yet. The wedding was so hurried that one crucial thing was missing.

"There was no pre-nup," a source told the Post. "There wasn't time."

But we have all the time in the world to watch what happens during the inevitable divorce.

KAY1- We all know how you judge a man. He is only worth something to you if can buy your love. Just like all the women in Tampa think.

Manxman, the comparison between the size of the diamond and the purchase price of the Isle of Man is hyperbole. So you don't need to fumble around trying to learn the intricacies of on line dictionaries or finding your mothers dog-eared Oxford, I can provide a definition. Hyperbole is an exaggeration used for effect. The statement was never meant to be be taken literally. Of course, such a subtlety is probably beyond a half witted Twit, I mean Brit.

Does anyone want a white man anymore?

Most of people around the world don't understand the meaning of marriage....if you like somebody, just do ur thing, and to you mister Ted, what have u achieved in life that makes u call somebody like that a loser...Think before you talk.
He will feed u for many years without any problem, he bought a ring for $2.5 million, remember?

Unlike you half witted Americans, we have historical value. Whilst you have the most dysfunctional democracy on the planet, we lay claim to the oldest democracy. You're forgetting the Isle of Man is a tax haven and as such is rated as one of the world’s top financial centres. Think before you speak, that has always been a Yankee problem though.

I don't think he's a loser, but it seems like he's in such a rush to get married to whom ever that would accept the proposal.

Hard up is what I call it.

She is nuts if she married that looser.

What??? .... Are you kidding me???


LMAO!!!!!
