Friends and family shocked by Carey-Cannon nuptials
The whirlwind romance between Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon turned into "I dos" for the couple, and their friends say they're stunned about the wedding. "I'm shell-shocked," a source in Carey's camp tells People magazine. "As far as I know, they are happy together."
Music mogul Russell Simmons said he didn't know about the nuptials ahead of time. "Whatever makes them happy," he said Friday. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together." Even Cannon's family was surprised. "It's crazy right! We're definitely happy," Cannon's brother, Gabriel, tells People.
Another insider says the newlyweds didn't know each other before Carey's video shoot for her song "Bye, Bye" in the Caribbean on March 26. "Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their started during the shoot," the insider says, adding, "She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."
Jacob Arabo, who created the diamond ring that the actor gave the singer, tells People that his friend is in love with Carey. Still, others seem more dubious of the romance. "This is what Nick does; Nick is such a sucker for love," said a source close to Cannon. "He falls in love so quick." Adds another Cannon insider: "We all thought it was a joke, but he's been impulsive before. Maybe this was a crush that went too far. We'll see. He takes a while to come down from the cloud."
