T.I & TINY TIE KNOTS IN MIAMI BEACH

Rapper T.I. was married on Friday in a secret ceremony in Miami Beach. The musician, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., married longtime girlfriend, singer & reality TV star, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle at the Miami Beach courthouse. The couple began dating in 2001.

The couple will then hit their hometown in Atlanta for a reception before going to The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to celebrate with friends. After the weekend of celebrations, T.I., & Cottle will return to Atlanta on Monday.

The rapper was released from jail earlier this year after serving time for a federal weapons charge. He made his big return to the music world last month when he performed live at the 2010 BET awards.
