Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon said they waited until their wedding to have sex for the first time. Well, that answers the question as to why they got married so quick! LMAO! “It’s not that we had no intimacy, we just didn’t have complete intimacy,” Mariah tells Britain’s Daily Mirror. “…We both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married.” “And it was, and it still is,” she added. As you may recall, Mariah and Nick dated for only two months before they got hitched last Spring. Still can’t believe their together, I thought this would last only several days! I’m happy for them!
