"Me & Mommy @ my big brother's wedding," Nicki captioned one snap.

An insider told the New York Post's Page Six that Nicki arrived early for the wedding with seven security guards, make-up artists, a photographer and a few friends.

"Nicki couldn't have been sweeter, she looked really happy for her brother, and she didn't perform or take the spotlight during the reception," the source said. "She seemed to be making a point not to upstage the bride, saying it was her big day."

The Anaconda hit-maker has her own wedding to plan after she got engaged to her rapper boyfriend Meek Mill in April following a whirlwind two-month relationship. The bride-to-be is reportedly yet to set a date for their big day, but showed off her white and yellow heart-shaped diamond rock as she posed with her family on Saturday.
