Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s impetuous wedding might be real afterall. People reports that the singer obtained a marriage license on the Caribbean island of Eleuthera.
According to marriage requirements for the Bahamas, a couple must be in the country for at least 48 hours, be over the age of 16 and have obtained a valid marriage license within 90 days, explains Monique Gomez, a Bahamian attorney in Nassau who specializes in family law.
The source says that Carey did obtain a license in Eleuthera within that time period. And clarifies Gomez, “The minister would make sure [the license] goes into the registry. It’s still a valid marriage even if it’s not filed. Anywhere in the world.”
The New York Post reported that the nuptials took place at Carey’s private estate off Eleuthera. Carey owns an estate on Windermere Island, which is an exclusive Bahamian island where the British royals vacation.
No official confirmation of the wedding is available at this time, however, Linda Cannon revealed, “He called and told us all about it.”
