Hola Thea
when we use past participles as part of a compound tense, e.g. he comprado, habías ido, hubiera hecho..., the only form of the participle here as part of a verb is the singular masculine form -there is no agreement with the subject.

Thank you for reply. I had actually contacted you again to say that I was confusing Spanish and French, and not for the first time!

'si Cristina se hubiera casado con él' - the past participle does not have to agree
