Mariah Carey Planning $4 Million Wedding

Mariah Carey is planning a $4 million second wedding.

The 38-year-old singer is planning to tie the knot again with new husband Nick Cannon and is determined to have an over the top celebration. The couple's original nuptials were a relatively low key affair in Barbados earlier this month.

A source said: "It's going to be held in New York City in the next six weeks. Picture a wedding on the scale of Liza Minnelli's to David Gest and you'll be on the right track. She wants over 2,000 guests. The budget will be well over $4 million and she'll have at least 14 bridesmaids."

Mariah married Nick after dating him for just a month, after the pair met on the set of the video for Mariah's latest single 'Bye Bye'.

Following the ceremony, the 'Touch My Body' singer said she is already planning to have children with the 27-year-old rapper.

She said: "It's part of the whole purpose of getting married. I just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could."
