If the rampant online reports are to be believed, Mariah Carey's low-key second wedding was very different than the million-dollar extravaganza she put on for her first trip down the aisle. Latina magazine yesterday reported that Mariah, 38, and actor/rapper Nick Cannon, 27, were married in a small ceremony on an undisclosed island on Wednesday, in what an unnamed source called a "very impulsive" ceremony. Among the reported guests at the intimate affair was Mariah's long-time confidant, rapper Da Brat. Adding to the did-they-or-didn't-they confusion was a report from TMZ.com claiming that the site had received several tips from the Bahamas - where Mariah reportedly owns a home - that the singer, Nick and a number of "other celebs" had arrived on the island and preparations "for a significant event are underway - a wedding?" Citing unnamed sources on the small island of Windermere, the site reported that evidence of an upcoming wedding included a "boardwalk that could be a makeshift aisle" that had been erected from Mariah's house to the beach, as well as "workers rigorously raking up all the seaweed on the surrounding area." At press time, reps for Mariah and Nick either could not be reached for comment or had not responded. A representative for the Register's Office in Eleuthera, Windermere told MTV News US that no one named Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon or Mark Sudack (a member of Mariah's management team whom she has long been rumoured to be dating - hey, why not throw him in the mix?) had applied for a marriage license. However, couples wishing to get married there need only spend one day in the Bahamas before submitting an application for a marriage license; they also must fill out the application together at the Register's office, pay a fee of $40, and in Mariah's case, a certification of her divorce (from her ex-label head Tommy Mottola) must be produced. The license is valid for three months. Calls to Antigua, where Mariah is also reported to own a home, were inconclusive. Of course, many are speculating that the entire thing is a publicity stunt. While speculation has been swirling all week about a large diamond ring Mariah has been sporting lately - which some gossip sites snarkily reported looked an awful lot like the ring Nick gave his ex-fiancée before they parted ways - UsMagazine.com reported that Nick's ex, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, had nothing to say about the alleged nuptials. "I have no comment but wish them well," Selita told the magazine. Nick danced around MTV News' questions about rumours of the pair's engagement earlier this week. "I can't even know what to say. She's probably the most festive, remarkable person I've ever met. Good friend," he told MTV News on Monday. When pressed further about the rumours, he said, "Rumours happen. They do." The couple reportedly met in March when Nick appeared in the video for Mariah's new single, "Bye Bye," and Us magazine reported that an unnamed "inside" source said the romance was "hot and heavy." Mariah, who divorced her ex-husband in 1998, has been linked to a few famous men in the interim, singer Luis Miguel and baseball player Derek Jeter among them. Rumours about her romance with Nick heated up on April 15, when People.com reported that the couple had shared a romantic night out in Las Vegas. Spokespeople for Mariah and Nick had no comment on the rumoured wedding at press time.
