T.I. And Tiny Wed Twice In Star-Studded Nuptials (Georgia/Florida)



Rapper T.I., 29, traded in his player's card, wedding longtime girlfriend, singer, and reality show star Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, 35, twice. Cottle was a member of hit '90s group Xscape.

The couple wed Friday at a courthouse in Miami Beach, and exchanged their vows a second time Saturday at an elaborate ceremony with family and friends on Star Island, home of Shaquille O'Neal, Julio Iglesias, and Gloria Estefan according to Us Magazine. Cottle wore Valentino, and T.I. wore a Prada tuxedo.

Cottle had a star-studded bridal court including Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss (also a member of Xscape), her Tiny And Toya co-star Antonia "Toya" Carter, and singer Monica, AccessAtlanta reported.

Usher Raymond, Jermaine Dupri, TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, Bow Wow, Nelly, Ashanti, and Trina reportedly attended the service officiated by former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young.

The wedding began with El DeBarge singing several songs. Cottle walked down the isle to a bridal processional sang by Jamie Foxx.

They arrived to the wedding reception in a horse-drawn carriage.



The newlyweds have two children, and the hip-hop mogul has three additional kids from previous relationships.

Apparently, T.I., born Clifford Harris, Jr., was hinting about their then-impending blessed union in his new song "Got Your Back" featuring Keri Hilson.

"No matter what may occur in life, every day with her is like a plus/I'mma love her until she be like that's enough," he raps. The lyrics even suggest making a toast to their future. Tiny makes an appearance at the end of the video, prompting a bright smile from T.I.

The video appears to be influenced by aspects of their relationship. Actors portray a woman going to court with her significant other and visiting him in jail. T.I. was released from prison in December after serving 7 months for weapons charges.
