Rapper TI just got married to his long term girlfriend Tameka Cottle, also known as Tiny, this past weekend in Hawaii. The rap music artist has been dating the former Xscape singer since 2001 and the couple has been blessed with two boys. The two of them travelled to Hawaii earlier this month and have flown out their family and friends for the ceremony, so I would imagine that it was a pretty intimate wedding. Congratulations to the happy couple! I hope they continue to make things work in their relationship and stand the test of time together. Best of luck to them!
