[@Framing A Moose] In regards to #2, yes, make her as though she's just been brought into Shadow Worth. (That's the fortress where the choosing is taking place (can't remember if the OP says it or no)) She'll be brought in on the second night, so there'll be fewer brides, and fewer lords choosing. 

In regards to the summaries, I'll have detailed summaries of absolutely everything that went down by the end-ish of this week (as in, I'll have them done by Christmas Eve) but what you really need to know has been summed up by [@Ellion].
