Fiance' (male) pronounced fee-ON-say.
Fiancee' (female) pronounced fee-ON-say.
The only thing that changes is the number of Es, haha.

The groom to be is FIANCE, and the bride to be is FIANCEE. Both, however, are pronounced fee-an-say

Actually, they're BOTH pronounced fee-on-say. There are no feminine or masculine versions of the word.

I never knew there was different spelling, but I guess that would make sense. This must be a French word, in which they have a guy and girl way of saying most everything.
