(Newser) – Mariah Carey has gotten hitched to Nick Cannon—her boyfriend for all of a month, the New York Post reports. She exchanged vows with the actor/singer in a secret Bahamas ceremony. But was the pop queen—who divorced Tommy Mottola five years after their 1993 wedding—too hasty? "There wasn't a pre-nup," said one worried source. "There wasn't time."
