It could just be psychological, or you might have a really low pain threshold, but your first step should be a trip to your gynecologist to make sure there's no physical issue. You could have something like an unusually thick hymen, or vaginismus, which tightens the muscles there and makes sex painful...there's certainly no way for anybody on a forum to tell you.

If you don't have health care or a regular OB/Gyn, try to get an appt. at a free clinic or at Planned Parenthood. They also do Pap smears, are you up to date on those? It's not a bad idea to get everything checked out every time you're getting involved with a new sex partner, anyway...and this way you can make sure you're on some good effective birth control right from the start, as well.

BTW, in real life, it's not that uncommon for women to need a little help with lube, they just never show that in the movies. Every woman is different and some women just never lubricate freely enough no matter how excited they are. I have a friend who is like this and it used to drive her crazy because her male sex partners, if they weren't well educated sexually, often took it personally and then made her and themselves feel bad about it...as she got older she realized it was more their problem than hers. So it could be that you're not lubing enough because you're nervous but it could just be physiological and normal for you.

Make that dr. appt. Good luck.

Haven't you posted the same question in other forums, and gotten some good advice? I seem to recall that your fiance gets "extremely pissed" that you are unable to have sex. I suspect that THAT is the real underlying issue here...

Look for Yes lube online. It's really good and doesn't leave stickiness and doesn't even smell. I like it a lot.
