Newlywed pop star Mariah Carey wants to get ‘married’ every year.

The Touch My Body singer and new husband Nick Cannon, who wed in a secret ceremony in April, plan to tie the knot annually.

She said: “Nick’s plan is to have one wedding every year. I think instead of trying to be like, 'You're invited, but shhh, don't tell anybody’, we're just going to have another wedding next year.”

Mariah, 38, admits there were more hairdressers and stylists than guests at her wedding.

She told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “It was most attended by people who were responsible for my hair and people helping me with the dress. There were only three of my friends and Nick had three people with him. There weren’t a lot of people taking pictures!”

The pop superstar, who is divorced from music mogul Tommy Mottola, believes she has found her soulmate in Nick - who she first met on the video for her new single Bye Bye.

Echoing Nick’s half-brother Reuben Cannon’s insistence the couple will have children soon, Mariah said: “I always said if I found the right person who I felt would be on the same page as me in term of raising kids and having the same belief system, we'd have kids.

"I've always had a weird thing about it because my parents divorced when I was three and I didn't have many examples of what was the 'norm’."
