Joss is currently starring in the musical The Time Traveller’s Wife at the Apollo Theater in London and revealed her decided to get married after a bridal bouquet thrown at the end of the musical’s first act recently ended up near her.
“I picked them up and the whole crowd started cheering,” she explained. ‘I didn’t think about it, but when we went home we randomly thought, “Should we get married?”
The couple then headed to Nashville, Tennessee and tied the knot last Thursday.
She added of the ceremony: “There was no one there; It was just us, we just wanted to take the stress out of everything.”
The surprise wedding comes weeks after Joss revealed that she and Cody had begun the adoption process to expand their brood.
The couple revealed that they hope to take on the care of at least one other child and are going through the process of being approved as potential adoptive parents.
Joss told HELLO! magazine about the adoption process: ‘We are trying to do our home study. I hope we succeed. I want about 25 children.’
In addition to her plans to expand their family, Joss excitedly revealed that her eldest daughter Violet is already showing signs of being musical.

Joss explained, “Violet doesn’t really care about anything other than making art. She is obsessed with her ukulele – she runs around the house pretending to play it and sing – and she loves to paint and color.”
And Joss loves seeing the interaction between her two children. She said: “I saw them making each other laugh for the first time the other day. It was amazing.’
The Fell in Love With A Boy singer is a ‘big kid’ through and through. She said, “Actually, we all just want to play, don’t we?”
Joss recently revealed that she hopes to move back to Devon from her current base in Nashville, Tennessee, in time for her children to start school, as she wants them to have an upbringing similar to hers.
She told the Sunday Times magazine: ‘We’re moving to Devon in time for Violet to go to school. I want my children to have the kind of upbringing I had: riding horses, climbing trees and being close to my family. I hope Cody likes it there.”
