The wedding which has surprised many, turns out might was planned in advance.

Mariah Carey, Nick Carey and their 24 guests arrived via two private jets in the Bahamas on April 29th.

When they departed the planes, everyone came out with drinks in their hands and in a very "party" mode, says an eyewitnesses.

Upon arrival, Mariah and Nick headed to her $5 million home (now his too!) nearby while guests checked in to the hotel. The next day, Mariah and Nick were married at noon on the patio of her mansion overlooking the ocean.

How romantic!

An airport waitress tells Life & Style that "Mariah's assistant arrived on Eleuthera Island, just off the coast of Windermere, on April 27 to start making arrangements. The next day, a commercial jet arrived from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., carrying two huge tanks of live Maine lobsters."

They don't have lobster in the Bahamas????

Also flying in a few days ahead were Mimi's security team and several staff members to get the home ready in time.

Seems the last minute, surprise wedding was pretty well thought-out and planned for.

An insider adds, "Whenever Mariah travels, they set up for her beforehand. And it's no joke. If anything she needs or wants is missing, she'll be upset."

The flowers were also flown in on a private jet with the florist waiting to set up.

As for the cake, Mariah took care of that herself. She flew the cake over with her in her own private jet.

A source adds, "It was on the seat next to her. She wouldn't let anyone come near it or touch it."

Bridezilla!!!!!

We still wonder how long these two will last. They hardly even know each other!

Was Mariah Carey smart enough to get a prenup made in time for her "impromptu" wedding?

Her accountants can breathe a sigh of relief!

It seems like her lawyers took care of business!

According to insiders, Mariah told a friend "Anyone who thinks we didn't have a prenup is smoking something!"

Poor Nick Cannon Carey. He won't be entitled to much of anything that Mariah has once they file for divorce.

Thankfully, Mariah thought ahead! She probably learned her lesson after getting divorced from douchebag Tommy Mottola.

Mimi's raking in the millions now and she needs to keep it in her bank. She's had three hit albums since her divorce in the '90s. She has several millions invested in real estate. She owns her own perfume line. Oh yeah, and she also gets publishing rights since her name is on every song.

As for the wedding, Mariah was walked down the aisle by her cousin, Shawn McDonald.

According to insiders, when Mariah and Nick return from their honeymoon, they plan on having a large party. And perhaps even a second ceremony.

Who cares about the party, though.

THANK GOD she got a prenup!

They honeymoon will soon be over!

While Mariah Carey is set to perform in Dubai next week - on May 15th - her new husband, Nick Cannon, is scheduled to be the celebrity DJ for the Operation Smile gala in the NYC on the SAME DAY, PerezHilton.com has learned.

Seems like he won't be making it to Dubai with his honey!

Nick better not cancel on the charity. That would be sooooo uncool.

Operation Smile is an amazing organization that gets volunteers out into all corners of the world to repair childhood facial deformities.

Will Nick do as he has promised and DJ at the gala?

Don't be an ass and bail. Do it for the kids, Nick!

We're sure Mariah will understand. She is one of the organization's celebrity ambassadors.

Mariah Carey had met Nick Cannon at an awards show or two, but the first time the first got to really know each other was on the set of her new music video for Bye Bye, which she shot in late March and JUST released.

Cannon co-stars in the video with Carey as, you guessed it, her romantic interest.

And, it's fascinating watching it and knowing that those sun-filled days in the Caribbean was the beginning of their fast and full-throttle relationship, which resulted in a surprise wedding last week - after little more than a month of dating.

Watching this video now has much more subtext to it!

More fun in the sun for Mimi!

Extra reports that newlywed Mariah Carey cancelled her previously schedule appearance for this Monday with the ladies at The View.

No explanation was provided.

And we don't need one!

Mimi's must be enjoying Magic Nick's stick.

Wonder where the two lovebirds are shacked up???

We still can't believe she didn't make him sign a pre-nup! That part better not be true!!!

E! News is now also reporting that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have indeed married!!!!

In fact, they've even gotten confirmation from family that the nuptials did take place and that this is not a publicity stunt.

Family member Linda Cannon has confirmed to E! News that the couple are, in fact, married.

"Yes, we know," she says. "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."

Linda Cannon wouldn't confirm an earlier report that had the impromptu nuptials taking place yesterday at Carey's new home in the Bahamas, only that Nick and his platinum-selling girlfriend have made it official.

"I’m not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Mimi was probably just jealous that a 15-year-old Disney star was getting more media coverage than her so she got married to get a little attention.

Well, it worked!
