The concept of an "intact" hymen is a myth. The hymen is not a reliable indicator of whether a person has been sexually active or not. This is especially true since for some women, the hymen can be stretched or torn by fingers, tampons, masturbation, or even at a gynecological exam. For others, using tampons or inserting fingers does not interfere with the tissue at all. Anecdotal evidence also supports the idea that it's possible to tear or stretch the hymen during non-sexual strenuous activity (such as horseback riding, gymnastics, or dance) or from trauma directly to the vaginal area. There are also women whose hymen tissue is so flexible that it moves aside during penetration. In addition, if a woman's hymen is stretched or torn, she may experience pain or bleeding that generally lasts for a short period of time. Or, she may not show any "signs" or have any discomfort at all

I dont quite understand why you WERE getting married but seem not to have done. Did you cancel your wedding due to your hymen being intact?
If your partner is careful and makes sure you are really aroused before penetration you will not suffer any discomfort.
In fact your hymen could already be torn due to excecise, tampons, etc.
Dont be too tense. Relax.

It can sometimes take several tries for the hymen to break but in the cases of those where it doesn't break at all sometimes they need to have help from the doctor to break it. I would recommend talking to your doctor about this as well to see what they suggest.
