Impulsive Travel: Did Mariah and Nick Wed in the Bahamas?

It's not just Super World Travelers who are subject to persistent rumors of paparazzi-ducking marriages in locales unknown. So as for the talk that Mariah Carey, amidst the buzz for her new album E=MC^2, slipped away to her Eleuthera house to wed actor Nick Cannon, we say: Highly likely!

Just because Cannon allegedly gave Carey the ring he had made for his ex-fiancee, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, doesn't make their surprise nuptials less probable.

Like all destination weddings, though, this one could later be annulled if the couple, in their lovey-dovey hurry, didn't do the proper paperwork. Whether you're going to the Caribbean or somewhere else, do a little homework before you go in case you don't have Carey's million-dollar lawyers on retainer.

Destination Weddings: Sarko's Ex-Wife Gets in on the Trend

Cécilia Ciganer-Albéniz, the ex-wife of Nicolas Sarkozy isn't letting him have all the re-marrying fun. She's getting hitched to her lover Richard Attias in New York later this month. (The two previously had a year-long affair in 2005.)

The news was leaked by Versace, which is proud to brag that it's the label of choice for the wedding party. Rumor has it the pair will keep the luxe life up after the nuptials: They were spotted checking out a pad at the recently-renovated Plaza hotel across from Central Park.

Central Park? If they wanna top the globe-trotting Sarko--and his new wife, Carla Bruni--they're gonna need to go further afield than that.

Best Summer Wedding Destinations

It's wedding season. Although even the heat radiating off asphalt in a parking lot in Phoenix right now can't melt our cold, cold hearts, some people still feel an affinity for the institution of marriage. We feel obliged to humor them. If we're dragged to witness these nuptials, we just hope it gives us a chance to check out a cool new place. Here are a few of the settings where we'd like to see our friends give up their independence.

Nantucket
For one, Nantucket is less likely to be as ungodly hot as, say, a Caribbean wedding in July. Sure, this destination might apply to a niche group -- the madras pants wearing, tennis playing, New England set -- but it's a beautiful island with plenty of web sites and companies targeting the enfianced.

Napa Valley
Everyone knows California is the best place, temperature-wise, to be in July. The inns and spas throughout Napa Valley that cater to wine travelers translate perfectly to wedding settings. Being the savvy businesspeople they are, inn owners have tapped into this market and now offer outdoor ceremony services and wedding-related amenities. Plus, guests can maximize their trip by stopping in for some tastings before and after the big event.

Hawaii
For the tried-and-true tropical destination wedding, Hawaii is best. Couples can choose between The Big Island, Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Kona. Also, it's not just the boring old girl/boy pairs heading to the far state, because Hawaii is one of the gay friendliest states, socially and legally. Plus, it's kind of unique that wedding photographers in Hawaii double as peeping toms (see above). The whole voyeur thing is really hip right now on HBO.
