A Diamond Tattoo Is Forever
Here are a few scans from the new issue of People magazine which feature exclusive images from Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's Caribbean wedding last week. I have to say, the photos look a bit ... strange. I have a hard time seeing Mimi and Nick as a married couple ... and seeing them in their formal wedding attire doesn't really remedy that for me. I suppose they do look happy, tho. Additionally, People posted a new report about the bling that the newlyweds are rockin' these days as well as the new ink they each got to signify their lurve for one another:

When Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey made their first public appearance as newlyweds on Thursday, the pair simply dazzled – almost as much as their wedding jewelry. Carey, who attended TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" gala with her new husband, showed off her impressive pink diamond sparkler from of Jacob & Co. jewelers. The ring, valued at a whopping $2.5 million, is 17 carats. The center stone alone is 10-carats – a little smaller than a dime. "I wanted to do something extremely special, something that Mariah would really appreciate," Cannon told PEOPLE. "We got the pinkest stone we could find, surrounded by other diamonds." Carey definitely approved. "It's so clear, you can see my finger through it," she said. According to Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co., Cannon "was very involved," in picking the ring, which has an emerald-cut fancy light pink center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds, flanked by two half-moon diamonds. "The way he came into the store, I knew this was very serious," Arabo told PEOPLE. "He said, 'Jacob, I’m in love. This is what I want to do.'" Meanwhile, Cannon's ring would make Liberace proud. The elaborate, chunky diamond band made its debut Thursday as he was leaving his New York City hotel. But while a diamond may be forever, the couple's new tattoos – his says "Mariah" across his shoulders, and hers reads "Mrs. Cannon" on the small of her back – will last a lifetime. "Rings and all that is special and exciting," said Cannon. "But to us, tattoos mean more than anything because it's something we never thought we'd do."
The diamonds, altho gaudy, I can appreciate because, after all, they can always be hawked later on. The tattoos, on the other hand, seem like a real bad idea. There is something very unlucky about getting someone's name tattooed on your body and I fear that this couple, despite being happy now, may live to regret them one day. In any event, Mimi and Nick are married, they are reveling in their marriage and I do wish them all the luck in the world. [Source]
