As a fiancée, Maggy has every right to ask her fiancé, the man she’s going to get married to, to be with her while she invites her friends and relatives to her much anticipated wedding.
John said he had to call his fiancée. (i.e. he had to make a phone call to the woman he is engaged to be married – whom he is going to marry soon)
Once a man is engaged to a woman, he forgets that his fiancee has a life of her own — her friends, colleagues, relations with whom she has been very intimated, and becomes over-jealous and tries to control her.
There are instances where fiances (men) fail to prove their competence to their fiancees (women) and, as a result, many engagements are cancelled even before they are announced!
