Tameka “Tiny” Cottle says she is fed up with everyone asking when she and fiancé, T.I., are getting married. The former Xscape singer said that they are taking their time.

“I don’t really worry about what people say about what’s taking so long,” Cottle told Vibe magazine. “Like, it ain’t none of your business what’s taking so long. If we happy, why are you so concerned? We living, we’re happy, we’re in love. I mean, it’s no doubt in my mind that he doesn’t love every piece of me and vice versa, so we’re just doing what’s comfortable and what works for us (Tiny and T.I), not for the world. When we get ready to make a move, we will make it. We just can’t do it for everybody.”

The reality star did reveal that a private ceremony would happen at some point in 2010 in front of close friends and family.

“There are wedding plans coming soon, sometime this year,” she said. “Not too big, ‘cause I want it to be as private as possible. There’ve been a million rumors about us getting married. It’s taking away from the day that we really do get married, so I just want to kind of have that moment for myself.”

The couple has two sons together and has been romantically involved since 2001.

T.I. began a prison sentence on gun-possession charges in May. He was released to a halfway house in December, and is scheduled to finish his term on March 26, according to MTV.com.

“It was crazy. I seen him every week,” Tiny said about Tip’s time in prison. “We just picked up where we left off and we just, you know, I’m just in love all over again.”

While Xscape, the multi-platinum quartet she was once a part of is now defunct, the pint-size singer-songwriter is staying busy with solo projects. She has formed two girl groups, one of which her oldest child, daughter Zonnique, is a member of. And a reality show with Lil Wayne’s ex-wife, titled “Tiny and Toya,” which debuted on BET in June 2009. Season two of the hit series premieres April 2010.
