Mariah Carey and young husband Nick Cannon went to Aspen to celebrate Christmas, as the singer has done every year since she became rich enough to afford Aspen at Christmas.  This year, she brought along a special surprise: her dog, and husband Nick Cannon to babysit the dog while Mariah takes her chest out for photo-ops.

The beautiful romance between Mariah and Nick began when she cast him in a video for her song “Bye Bye”.  Nick told People magazine that he knew they were meant to be together because they are both “eternally twelve years old”.  Although Nick is only 27, Mariah has actually been married once before and has been around the block more times than a Times Square taxi driver. 

Regardless, the two hit it off, and, after a lengthy one-month courtship during which they managed to control their animalistic urges, they married at Mariah’s Bahamian estate on April 30.  Nick was proud to tell the press that the two had not been intimate before they married, and the world was collectively shocked, not believing that Mariah could keep her drawers on for that long.  She later cleared up for her fans—and anyone who was within earshot—that they were intimate, but not in the biblical sense.  Whew. 

After only a few weeks of dating, Mariah showed up at the Tribeca Film Festival wearing a $2.5 million engagement ring from Jacob &Co..  The ring featured a 17-carat emerald-cut diamond set in platinum.  Prior to that, some of her friends already knew that she and Nick had gone to get tattoos together, and that hers reads “Mrs. Cannon”, while Nick’s says “Mariah” in ginormous letters across his back.  Mariah has said that she loves the rings and the tradition of them, but tattoos are forever.  Or, at least, until you get them lasered off (Angelina’s “Billy Bob” tattoo is nearly invisible now!).  Nick’s wedding band, which he proudly displays, is a diamond-encrusted platinum wedding ring, and perfectly illustrates the quiet modesty that Mariah herself is known for.

Prior to their trip to Aspen, Nick bought Mariah an early Christmas present—a $1.5 million ski chalet, so the couple could “avoid the hassle of renting”.  And how inconvenient that must be for two multi-millionaires.  He also, allegedly, bought her a different diamond ring for each room of the chalet.  Considering that I’m still trying to figure out who Nick Cannon is and what exactly he has done to become rich and famous, this seems a tad on the extravagant side.

Nonetheless, the happy couple is frolicking in the snow at Aspen as only Mariah can, with all of us wondering how she doesn’t get a chest cold.  Maybe it’s the Magic of Christmas.
