Common mistakes

fiancé 指男性未婚夫，fiancée 指女性未婚妻；句中用 she 指代，所以必须用 fiancée。
I'm going to marry with my fiancée in June.I'm going to marry my fiancée in June.
英语中 marry 是及物动词，直接接宾语，不需要介词 with；这是受汉语“和……结婚”的影响。

Context & Register

Pronunciation & Spelling
The only genuine rhyme here is fiancé /fiˈɒnseɪ/, the masculine form, which sounds exactly like fiancée. Soirée /ˈswɑːreɪ/, née /neɪ/, café /ˈkæfeɪ/, and résumé /ˈrezəmeɪ/ share an accented é/ée spelling and end with a /eɪ/ sound, but they do not rhyme with fiancée because the sounds after the stressed syllable are different. Beware finance /ˈfaɪnæns/: it looks similar at the start but is pronounced very differently.
