Christine Baumgartner's gonna be a blushing bride again -- less than a year after finalizing the bitter divorce from Kevin Costner -- but her new marriage won't impact the fat monthly payments Kevin makes.
First, the romantic side ... Christine said yes to financier Josh Connor, who recently proposed on the beach in Santa Barbara.
