Mariah & Nick's Wedding Photo!

Yep, they did it! If there was any doubt Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's wedding was the real deal, they answer the question once and for all in this week's issue of PEOPLE, speaking for the first time about their surprise nuptials – and showing off exclusive photos from their April 30 ceremony.

"We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey tells PEOPLE, following their sunset ceremony at the pop star's Bahamian estate. "I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."

Cannon adds: "She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside."

Private jets from NYC arrive at Governors Harbour Airport in the Bahamas all the time. But two that landed on the afternoon of April 29 were carrying some extra-special cargo. Pop diva Mariah Carey, 38, and actor Nick Cannon, 27, rode on one — and about 24 wedding guests were passengers on the other!

“They all walked off carrying cups of champagne,” an airport waitress reveals. While Mariah and her man headed straight to her $5 million home on Windermere Island, their guests headed to the island’s posh Pineapple Fields hotel. “Everyone was in party mode,” the witness says. For good reason. At noon the next day, Mariah and Nick were married by Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God on the patio of her mansion overlooking the Atlantic.

While Nick took care of the bling, Mariah steered the top-secret wedding plans. “Mariah’s assistant arrived on Eleuthera Island, just off the coast of Windermere, on April 27 to start making arrangements,” says the airport waitress. “The next day, a commercial jet arrived from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., carrying two huge tanks of live Maine lobsters.”

Her security team and staff also flew in to get the home ready for their notoriously high-maintenance boss. Among their duties: laying out silk robes, designer sheets and towels, blackout curtains for her bedroom and vases filled with orchids. (When she stays at hotels, bright lightbulbs are usually replaced with softer, more flattering ones, per her orders, says the Mariah insider.)

“Whenever Mariah travels, they set up for her beforehand,” the Mariah insider explains. “And it’s no joke — if anything she needs or wants is missing, she’ll be upset.”

The morning of Mariah’s big day, florist Benjamin White was spotted greeting a private jet filled with flowers. “Hurry up,” he told handlers anxiously. “I don’t have much time to play with.”

Mariah herself oversaw the delivery of her wedding cake — flying it down with her on the private jet. “It was on the seat next to her,” a source confirms. “She wouldn’t let anyone come near it or touch it.

But all the meticulous planning paid off. “She was one happy, happy lady on her wedding day,” says a witness at the ceremony. Less thrilled, however, were Nick’s relatives — who found out about the nuptials through media reports. “They’re upset they weren’t invited and didn’t even know about the wedding,” says an insider close to the newlyweds. “They were shocked they had to hear about it secondhand.”

Still, they’re trying to be as supportive as possible. Nick’s brother, Gabriel, said he sent the groom well wishes, saying, “I love him very much.”

I hope it works out for them too....but i have to admit I have a feeling we're gonna be reading about a breakup VERY soon. They've only been together 6 weeks not to mention the fact that no one stays married in Hollywood anymore anyway.

Gossip Queen or anyone else-any stories about if the wedding was legal? I heard on the radio today that supposedly it was a "spiritual" wedding. They didn't have a license or anything official. I wonder if that's true-I hope so.

Mariah Obtained Marriage License in Caribbean

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's whirlwind romance took an official turn when the singer obtained a marriage license on the Caribbean island of Eleuthera, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

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.

Though there has been no official confirmation of the wedding, Linda Cannon revealed to E! Online, "He called and told us all about it."

After dating less than two months, Carey, 39, and Cannon, 27, got hitched in an impromptu island ceremony. This wasn't the first whirlwind courtship for Cannon, who proposed to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks last year after just four months of dating. (The pair split last October.)

A source close to Ebanks – who received a 12-carat diamond ring from Jacob & Co jewelers, similar to the 17-carat Jacob bauble Carey is sporting – says the model "really is not affected by it. She is past that point in her life." Ebanks's rep says Ebanks "has no comment other than she wishes them well."
