I just wanted a way out, but I didn't have one." Mariah also revealed she couldn't believe her luck when her new husband Nick Cannon "kidnapped" her to propose.She added: "He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he proposed."The 38-year-old beauty insists she has never been happier than she is now.She told America's Elle magazine: "It's definitely the best place I've ever been in my life. If you really look at my life, I've never had a personal life, or if I did, it was just wearing a mask and it was not existing, you know?
