1. She's the one who chooses whom she wants to see at her wedding. [What you've written is just fine in most contexts, but, if the speaker is a English aristocrat, or if you're speaking to a grammarian, be sure to choose whom.]
2. OK ['What was she thinking?' is a more common way of saying this.]
3. We'll have even more of a reason

Thank you for your help,
regarding Whom and Who
Could you tell me what you think of this?
The only person who/whom has bought me a gift whom I didn't buy a gift for is her.
How would you say this please?

The only person who has bought me a gift but who I didn't buy a gift for is her.
In both instances, who is a standing in for the subject of the sentence. Therefore, whom is incorrect.

Could it not be
"but whom I didn't buy a gift for is her"
Isn't it
"the brother whom I dislike the most is him"?

As it turns out, I did make one mistake in that sentence: 'her' should have been 'she', i.e.
The only person who has bought me a gift but who I didn't buy a gift for is she.
The second 'who' is the object of the preposition 'for', but it is also the s
