Speaking to People, James recalled of the evening: "I said, ‘I’m really enjoying this sort of thing — like, cooking dinner, falling asleep, not really drinking.' And he [Dominic] said, 'Come on, let’s go, it’ll be fun.' Thank God he persuaded me."
"I said, 'Hi, Jules. You might be the most beautiful woman in the world.' She said, 'Well, thank you very much. That sounds like something you say a lot.' And I said, 'I've never said it before in my life.' That was it. That was it, really. I was in. And by an absolute miracle, so was she."
The couple married in 2012 at Babington House in Somerset, England.
Who are James Corden's children?
James and Julia have three children together: Max, 11, Carey, eight, and Charlotte, four.

The star recently opened up about his children's future in a very rare interview with The Los Angeles Times, admitting that he expects his kids will want to enter showbiz, and how he is reluctant to let them be child stars.
He explained: "I do feel like there is a strong chance that certainly one of our children will want to seek a life in performing arts. But I don't know that we need to kick that off now. I see little evidence that being thrust onto television as a minor is necessarily good for your perspective."
The actor previously spoke of lockdown life with his family on The Ellen Show.
He explained: "Anytime I find myself, or me and my wife and in particular our kids, thinking, 'Oh man this is tough' you just go, 'Well, right around the corner, there's going to be a glorious moment, and I have no idea how long away it is but it'll be spectacular.'"
Who are James Corden's royal friends?
James and Julia are known to spend time with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who live nearby in California's Montecito neighbourhood.
