Pippan Cream of the Crop  More info | Another forum on which I lurk, a language forum in fact, has one participant, a journalist/editor (though now emeritus), who always refers to his as 'my first wife'. He's only ever been married once but he reckons it keeps her on her toes Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Introduce your fiancé as "my future, and potentially ex-, wife." Moose

You're definitely in touch with your masculine side, don't let the TF tell you otherwise. Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

There are no prepositions in "the wife" or "my wife," and English doesn't have singular and plural forms for prepositions.
