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.
E! Online reports the wedding festivities will leave south Florida for a quick stop in Atlanta before the couple jet out to Las Vegas.
T.I. and Tiny weren’t the only ones getting hitched this weekend. Another one of music’s high-profile couples, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, was married in an intimate ceremony in Italy.Wiz Khalifa Signs To Atlantic Records!
Miss Info was first to reveal the couple’s union, which took place aboard a 260-foot yacht on the Mediterranean Sea, near Sardinia’s exclusive Costa Smeralda enclave. The celebration was attended by close family and friends.
Before breaking out the champagne across the Atlantic, the couple legally wed in the Tri-State region. During those nuptials, Keys reportedly wore a Vera Wang gown, Swizz was outfitted in Tom Ford, and both rocked footwear personally designed by their friend Christian Louboutin.
Prior to walking down the aisle, Swizz celebrated with two bachelor parties, one in New York and one at Sardinia’s opulent Billionaire Club on Friday (July 30).
Keys is pregnant with the couple’s first child, due later this year. This is the first marriage for the Grammy-winning singer and second for Swizz, who was previously married to R&B singer Mashonda.
"Yeah, I'm signing to Atlantic," Khalifa said. "We've been working on it for a minute. I wanted to make sure that I had records that I was comfortable with before I went to any label or any situation. I wanted to make sure I had my direction so when I take it to them it's like, 'Let's go.' ... It's a huge honor for [Ross] to even extend a hand like that. [It's] crazy for him to even look out like that. Me and Ross is always gonna be working. He sees my vision. I think he gets what I'm trying to do. Even if it ain't no paperwork between me and Ross, it's gonna be work done between me and Ross."
