Activity for Heather

I have BMs on east and west coat. I live in Maryland. What's the best course of action in ordering dresses and who do you recommend? What vendors are reputable?

Besides the bridesmaids and groomsmen, who else gets gifts? My uncle is walking me down the aisle. Does he get a gift? I'm unsure about who else I should be giving a gift, which I intend to hand out at the rehearsal dinner.

My mom and step dad recently divorced and I'm marrying 10/26/19. My uncle is walking me down the aisle. What do I do about the first dances? I feel bad cutting my fiancé and his mother's dance since I can't have one. Any suggestions?

I'm booking a hotel block with Delta Marriott Hunt Valley. I'm not a Marriott member. Any tips on gaining/using points to pay for the bride's/groom's room?

Our wedding will be 10/26/19 and I'm debating whether to go on a honeymoon immediately following the wedding or January (after the holidays and with a name change). What are you doing??

Who/what are you using for transportation for guests from venue to hotel? Our venue is 4 miles from hotel (Hunt Valley Country Club to Delta Hotel Marriott Hunt Valley) and they do not offer a shuttle for over distances exceexing two miles...
