Richard:

It shouldn't be too hard to set the stage for the wedding with a few establishing scenes and conversations.  Fleur is working at Gringotts to improve her English, whether or not Bill had anything to do with her getting the job.  Bill came back to England to be near his family and the Order of the Phoenix during these dark days.  He's a handsome risk taker, she's Fleur, put them together and instant chemistry :)  
They will probably have been engaged the same amount of time or a little less than the book, but she obviously wasn't staying at the Burrow to bond with the family since she was not with them in any of the scenes in HBP.
