You can be sued only if you and your significant other had gotten to the stage of planning the wedding and she spent money in reasonable reliance on your promise to marry (e.g. bought a dress, put a nonrefundable deposit on a reception hall or photographer; etc.); in that case, she may be able to sue for the money she spent. But there is otherwise no suing someone because they decided to not marry you.
