When you're rocking a 35-carat engagement ring and your name is Mariah Carey, of course you have wedding plans that involve the most over-the-top items you could possibly imagine. Carey and Australian fiancé James Packer are supposedly getting married at a private island near the Great Barrier Reef and are most definitely not concerned about guests getting to the tricky location—they'll use some of Packer's private planes to make sure everyone arrives in style.
"She wants carnival rides and a giant circus with baby elephants, white tigers, jugglers, acrobats, and clowns," a Mariah friend told Australian tab Woman's Day. "There will be fireworks, a marching band, and a flyover by military aircraft." The real kicker? A "mermaid statue of herself."
The gossip sounds like Mimi, but it also goes against what the singer has revealed herself. "We are not doing a big wedding because he did two big weddings, and it's kind of like, 'I've done a big wedding,'" she told E!. "We would rather make it beautiful but humble."
Regardless of whether it's a massive blowout affair or something with a small guest list (but still beyond glamorous), facts stand: The pop star has to have something to wear. We're loving the rumors that she's fallen for a dress by a 17-year-old student at L.A.'s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Design (it's reportedly one of four being considered).
