Yahoo News Selling Sunset's Christine Quinn – All the details about her fiancé and their wedding
Selling Sunset spoilers follow.
While we're all sitting here desperately waiting for Selling Sunset season three, and to find out what really happened with Chrishell Stause's husband and their divorce, life has been carrying on for the uber-glamorous cast.
That means that we can bring you some updates ahead of the upcoming episodes, and some of the big questions that Selling Sunset's second season left us with were centred around Christine Quinn and her wedding.
The feisty realtor was one of the breakout characters from the first season – whether you were on Team Christine or not, there was no denying that this woman is television gold.
News of her relationship with Christian Richard, who she described in the series as being "big in the tech world" and now "retired", actually surfaced before the most recent season of the hit reality show dropped on Netflix.
What we now know is that the Selling Sunset cameras were there to capture the moment Christine's colleagues at The Oppenheim Group learned of her engagement, particularly as she had only personally told Davina.
Christine and Christian had not been dating for that long when he put a ring on her finger (no judgement here). The story of how they met was the cause of some drama on Selling Sunset, but according to reports the couple were introduced through a mutual friend. He popped the question on Valentine's Day last year.
During a recent interview with Refinery29, Christine expanded on their relationship story. "Right after we ended production on season one, I met someone that's my now-husband. My girlfriend went on a date with him and she's like, 'Hey, I went on a date with this guy who I really don't like. I know you're single; you may want to go out with him.' So I went on a date with him after she did."
Unlike Heather's boyfriend Tarek El Moussa, who hasn't appeared on the show, we did get to see Christine's partner in season two. "When I met him, he thought I was only in real estate," she also told Refinery29, explaining that the pair had been travelling when the show started to gain popularity.

"After we got back to LA, we got picked up for another season and I asked him, 'Do you want to be on it?' He said, 'Oh my gosh, this is so not me.' He's really, really shy, but decided to do it for me," Christine later added. "He's on the show quite a bit and, bless his heart, he tries, but [filming] is a really awkward thing. It's not organic in any way. It's not reality in any way."
The pair's lavish engagement party was also filmed for season two of the show, which featured a speech from Christian. "Christine, I met you in Beverly Hills not even a year ago, and I absolutely fell head over heels in love with you," he said. "We had dinner, she was wearing a red dress, and we hit it off in the car...
"We had instant banter which is really special, you don't get that too often. I pursued her and she's a tough catch. But here we are now, she's amazing, compliments me perfectly and we're building a life together. I love you so much."
The final moments of Selling Sunset season two offered us a glimpse of the wedding, but we're yet to see it all unfold properly on-screen. We can confirm that Christine and Christian tied the knot in a winter wedding that took place on December 15, 2019 (via an exclusive for People).
We should all know by now that Christine doesn't do things by halves; she was going to have to go some way to top that Britney Spears-inspired engagement party, but she sure managed it. Their winter wonderland-themed special day was covered in indoor snow, and had black swans in attendance along with their 75 guests. It probably won't surprise you to know that Christine wore two extravagant gowns for the occasion, both in gothic black.
She walked down the LA cathedral aisle to a string quartet playing Ava Max's 'Sweet but Psycho'.
One thing that we are still waiting to find out is what led Chrishell – who fans saw weighing up whether to attend the wedding or not – to leave during the event.
We guess we will have to wait until season three.
Selling Sunset is available on Netflix.
