Fleur didn't think Mrs. Weasley was officious in planning her and Bill's wedding. The phalanx of things to do seemed to accrete daily and would have left an acidulous taste in the pit of Fleur's stomach if her mother-in-law-to-be wasn't there to help make sure no one's contributing energies lay fallow and wasted.
officious: too helpful, meddlesome
phalanx: a compact or close-knit body of people, animals, or things
accrete: to grow in size, to increase in amount
acidulous: sour in taste or manner
fallow: dormant, unused
