Cannon 'raced' Carey to the altar to 'avoid questions'

Mariah Carey's new husband Nick Cannon insisted on rushing his new bride up the aisle - because he didn't want friends to bombard the couple with pre-wedding questions.

The rapper/actor wed older woman Carey in April after a whirlwind six-week romance and admits he didn't want to hear from family and friends who thought the wedding was premature.
