Sorry I don't think it will work
Unlike normal HD's or SSD's, the two devices (discreet drives) are married to each other via software & the systems firmware (EFI), sorry I couldn't help my self ;-).
Yes, you can physically move them over to your Mac Pro, but any data on the Fusion Drive will likely get lost in the process of re-installing it in your Mac Pro system (make a full backup if you try). You'll need to use terminal to evoke the Fusion as the BIOS if your Mac Pro supports it (it may not due to its age). I should also point out you will need to be running the same version of OS-X on both in any case. Also your poor fiancé's Mac Mini system will now need a replacement hard drive ;-{
Given all of the work & risks and given the cost of having to buy a new drives HD and/or SSD. I would rather replace the Mac Pro drives Vs the Mac Mini's drives as they are older with a new HD and SSD setup to make a fresh Fusion Drive than swapping things around. You could just do it now by adding a SSD in your Mac Pro now {cheapest solution}. Or, you could get a discreet hybrid drive like a Seagate SSHD or Western Digital Black2 drive which combine the two elements spinning disk & SSD into a single device Vs Apples Fusion drive which is made up of two devices.
Gee, she is going to be your wife man! She'll love you more getting a fusion drive'd Mac Mini! ;-}
If you do give it a try let us know if you succeeded without having to rebuild it.
P.S. Did you see the new Darth Vader Mac Pro coming out this fall, Sweet!

Thanks for the response. Just wanted to do a quick swap if it was possible but since it not I'll pass on it. Thanks again.
