I'd be willing to be, based on that link, that saying *Tá sí gealta dhom* would work just as well.

Thanks. I do know several ways to say S/he's my fiancée using a clause; I didn't know if there was a common one-word way to say it. Would your example *Is í m'fhiancé (í)* be as common in Munster as one of the longer expressions?
using the longer expressions would probably be more common, but it wouldn't be incorrect to use fiancé as a stand alone word.
English didn't have a word to express
fiancé either, that's why its called fiancé, i.e a French word
