fiancees

Women soon marrying

Fiancees is the plural of fiancée, referring to women engaged to be married.

The word comes from French, where the extra E marks feminine gender.

In practice, English speakers often ignore the accent marks and gender distinction, using fiancé or fiancee for anyone who is engaged: Both fiancees wore matching rings at the engagement party.
