Celebrity Groom: James Corden
Yes, another Man About Town has popped the question. Funnyman James Corden proposed to his pregnant girlfriend on Christmas Day. Here are the full details (courtesy of Bee’s furtive imagination)…
Your name: James Corden
Age: 32
Bride’s name: Julia Carey
Best man and ushers:
Plenty of time to decide – the wedding’s not until 2012. Options include my former housemate, actor Dominic Cooper, who introduced me to Julia, and my old buddy Matt Horne. Then again, Ruth Jones would make a cracking Best Woman if I decide to break with tradition. And if the baby’s (due on April 2nd) is a boy I could always ask him, although he’d probably be a lousy drinking buddy and offer sod all help with the wedding speeches.
Where will you get married?
Maybe we’ll head abroad and get hitched in the Maldives, where I proposed to Julia on Christmas Day. Hey, maybe we could have a double wedding with my good mate Lily Allen – her fella Sam has just popped the question. Better check with Julia first.
Where’s the stag-do?
We’re all sworn to secrecy, sadly. One thing I can tell you is that that I’ve asked my mates to take four weeks off for it. Yes, four. Oh yes, it’s going to be an endurance stag-do, make no mistake about that. As for the guest list, it’s definitely going to include the Walliams and Dom Cooper, as well as my non-luvvie buddies, and possibly a stag hag or two.
What will the men wear on the day?
Mankinis! No, we’ll go for well cut wedding attire and do things properly. We chaps with fuller figures need to think about tailoring and suchlike. I don’t want to give Patrick Stewart an excuse to have another pop at my waistline…
What advice would you give to other blokes going through the whole wedding thing now?
- Act interested in every detail of the wedding planning at all times.
- Don’t waste time worrying about stag do pranks. Most grooms survive.
- Keep the groom’s wedding speech gags to a minimum, even if you are a comedian. The Father of the Bride will be looking for evidence that you’re taking your marriage seriously.
A word for the lady, come on, say something emotional about your bride-to-be…
I feel like the luckiest man in the world.

Four-week stag do? Corden clearly means business and we heartily approve. Congratulations to the happy couple!
