They took the world by surprise when they tied the knot a little over a month after their first date, but they proved haters wrong by lasting longer than anyone expected. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are set to renew their wedding vows in Paris this weekend.

Fans must already know that these two have made a habit of renewing their vows each year, in a ceremony that is as eccentric as it's private.

2012 will be different though, because the two superstars have decided to grant the press access to the event, the Daily Mail reports.

This weekend, on their 4-year anniversary (and their twins' one-year birthday), Mariah and Nick will be in Paris, also known as the most romantic city in the world.

“Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon are to renew their wedding vows in Paris this week. The couple are to celebrate four years of marriage at a romantic hotel with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop on Friday evening,” the British publication reports.

“While they surprised fans by tying the knot in an intimate ceremony back in 2008, Mariah and Nick have opted for a far more public celebration this time round, inviting the press to capture the romantic moment,” adds the Mail.

As noted above, this is a first for the couple in that they never allowed the media to be present at the ceremony in any shape or form, especially since it also included only A-listers on the guestlist.

“The couple will greet media at La Maison Blanche hotel in the romantic city following their vow renewals. The singing superstar and America’s Got Talent host wed in secret at a private resort in the Bahamas on April 30, 2008,” the same media outlet notes.

Since April 30 also marks the twins' first birthday, one can only assume that the party will be even bigger than in previous years.
