Congratulations, but need more info to get a sense of why you think this will freak her out. Will it affect her living situation? What kind of issues have there been? I know you might not want to "share," but it's hard to speculate.
She will probably be upset, no matter what. Kids have a certain schema in their minds of what a parent is, and when reality changes that, it's hard for them to assimilate the changes.

Knowing girl, she'll probably be happy about it. There's just been a lot of change this year. I just figure I'mm be direct, and not treat her like a child. She'll appreciate the honesty.
Be yourself, to the extreme!

Congrats to both you and your fiance! Here's hoping "Girl" likes it as much as you think she will. I'm cheering you on!!

You're a good mother to think of her feelings. Your daughter probably will appreciate your honesty, and I wouldn't wait to tell her. She would want to know right away, I think, and not feel like it is big news that is being kept from her for some reason.
You've been with this man for 14 years? Does she like him? That'd be very important to me.
Let her help you with the wedding, especially where it involves her.
Congratulations!!
