T.I., Tiny wed second time in two days

Atlanta's A-listers were in Miami to show full support Saturday when rapper T.I. married Tameka "Tiny" Cottle.

Ryan Cameron, disc jockey for Atlanta's V-103, was an invited guest of the couple and told the AJC the guest list was surprisingly small.

"There were only maybe 400 people," Cameron said of the who's who of Atlanta celebrities that reached from.

Cottle's bridal court included Xscape band mate and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss, reality show cast mate Antonia "Toya" Carter, and songstress Monica.

Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young officiated the ceremony as Usher Raymond, hip-hop mogul Jermaine Dupree, former DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones, TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and rappers Bow Wow, Trina and Killer Mike were in attendance.

For the Cottle and T.I., who's real name is Clifford "Tip" Harris, marriage was so nice, they did it twice.

A day after the couple exchanged nuptials at a Miami courthouse,  the two were at it again ... this time, in luxurious style.

Another surprise was the location, Cameron said.

As opposed to the widely publicized Star Island locale -- the swank South Beach escape that is the home to Gloria Estefan and Shaquille O'Neal -- guests were taken to a giant mansion surrounded by a lake in an exclusive part of Dade County, he said.

"We were about an hour from of Miami," Cameron said via phone late Saturday night. "The place looks like a castle."

The ceremony opened with crooner El DeBarge performing several songs, and triple-threat entertainer Jamie Foxx sang a bridal processional as Cottle made her entrance.

After the ceremony, the couple made their arrival to the wedding reception in a horse-drawn "Cinderella carriage" as fireworks exploded overhead, Cameron said.

"They looked really happy," he told the AJC. "It was beautiful to see."

T.I. has been engaged to Cottle for the last three years.

When he was released from prison in December following a seven-month federal stint for gun charges, he announced that the couple would wed sometime this year.

Cottle is the mother of two of T.I.'s five children -- Clifford "King" Harris and Major Harris.

T.I. dedicated his latest song and video "I Got Your Back" to his new bride.
