*Co-hosts on "The View" will not get a chance to grill Mariah Carey on her reported marriage to Nick Cannon last week. Her rep confirmed that she has pulled out of her scheduled taping this morning that was due to air on Friday (May 9).

       Carey and Cannon may not be talking, but friends and associates of the apparent newlyweds are speaking out about the rushed nuptials, which reportedly took place last week on Eleuthera, a Caribbean island next to Windermere, where Carey reportedly owns a home.       

       "I'm shell shocked," a source in Carey's camp tells People. "As far as I know, they are happy together."       

       Music mogul Russell Simmons said he didn't know about the nuptials ahead of time, but sees why the pairing works. "Whatever makes them happy," he said Friday. "They have a lot in common and should have a lot of fun together."      

       Cannon's brother, Gabriel, tells People: "It's crazy right! We're definitely happy. Well wishes! I'm trying to be like him and I love him very much."       

       Another insider says the couple didn't even know each other before Carey's video shoot for her song "Bye, Bye" in the Caribbean on March 26. "Nick was cast as the romantic lead and was flown to Antigua where they met so basically their [romance] started during the shoot," the insider says, adding, "She's very into religion and Nick is very into religion. That's something they bonded on."

      People tracked down Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God in Eleuthera's Governor's Harbour, who claims to have performed the ceremony. Petty provided no details except to confirm that he did not give a sermon.       

       Jacob "the Jeweler" Arabo, who reportedly made Carey's wedding ring, also confirmed the marriage to People. Additionally, the magazine cited an unnamed source as saying that Carey obtained a marriage license in Eleuthera, although a representative at the island's register's office told MTV News on Friday that she has no record of a license in Carey's or Cannon's names.       

       However, Monique Gomez, a Bahamian attorney in Nassau who specializes in family law, told People.com: "The minister would make sure [the license] goes into the registry. It's still a valid marriage even if it's not filed. Anywhere in the world."

       There have been additional rumors that Cannon was used as a cover for Carey's real marriage to Mark Sudack, a member of her management team whom she has long been rumored to be dating.  But TMZ.com claimed on Friday that those reports are untrue.
