Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their five-year anniversary in a MAJOR way last night: The couple dressed up like a prince and princess (their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, had matching outfits) and said "I do" all over again at Disneyland in front to 250 guests.
This continues the annual vow renewal tradition for the couple, who last year renewed their vows in Paris.
As I pointed out last year: In 2010, People asked Nick why he and Mariah felt the need to say their vows ad nauseam: "Don't everybody do that?" the America's Got Talent host replied. "Don't, like, Heidi Klum and Seal do the same thing every year?" Yeah, and look how that turned out.
My favorite part about Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renewing their vows is that they got married in 2008, the same year Rory and I did, so we celebrate our anniversaries pretty close to each other every year. And Rory and I STILL haven't felt the itch to renew our vows. Not even once. Never mind five times.
I'm sorry, but I meant "'Till death do us part" the first time I said it. It's not like wedding vows are a library book that need to be renewed periodically. And it's not like renewing your wedding vows is the secret to happily ever after. (Again, see Heidi Klum and Seal.)
As I've said in the past, I guess I'm OK with renewing your vows on a major anniversary—say, 25. But if you're compelled to renew them every single year, it starts to feel like you're trying to prove something. ("Yes, we still love each other! Look at the big spectacle we make announcing how much we love each other!!)
And Nick Cannon, unless you're trying out for Disney on Ice, burn that outfit. You look ridiculous. (Next time, try copycatting a real prince, not Prince Charming. Doofus.)
Thoughts on Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's vow renewal? Will you renew your wedding vows?
There are also several videos from the day on Mariah's Twitter page, but I didn't feel compelled to share those too.
