I thought that Sati's father would arrange a swayamvar for her, in which he will not call shiv ji and then Sati threw her var mala towards the sky and it went to shiv ji's thus thier marriage took place.

But in the show Daksh is planning to kill Sati 😕. Also i was wondering if a groom is called var then what is a bride called?

there was supposed to be a swayamvar too-that is what one version of the story says

but the more popular version says that Sati did severe Penance to get ShivJi without even consuming any food,earning her the title of Aparna...

Sati did severe penance, but it was Parvati who did even more severe tapsya earning the name Aparna when she lived consuming only leaves. Just thought would mention it. I think, due to her[Sati's] tapasya her father might agree to a swayamvar and not invite Shivji, but Sati might think of him and he might appear and marry her?

Evrything wont be write obviously!! There are many verions...there is one on wiki which says this:
...the Goddess to take human birth, Brahma's design was that she should please Shiva with humble devotions and wed him. It was natural that Gauri, even as a child, adored the tales and legends associated with Shiva and grew up an ardent devotee. As Gauri grew to womanhood, the idea of marrying anyone else, as intended by her father, became anathema to her. Every proposal from valiant and rich kings made her crave evermore the ascetic of Kailasa, the God of Gods, who bestowed all on this world and himself foreswore all.

To win the regard of the ascetic Shiva, the daughter of king Daksha forsook the luxuries of her father's palace and retired to a forest, there to devote herself to austerities and the worship of Shiva. So rigorous were her penances that she gradually renounced food itself, at one stage subsisting on one bilva leaf a day, and then giving up even that nourishment; this particular abstinence earned her the sobriquet Aparna. Her prayers finally bore fruit when, after testing her resolve, Shiva finally acceded to her wishes and consented to make her his bride.

An ecstatic Gauri returned to her father's home to await her bridegroom, but found her father less than elated by the turn of events. The wedding was however held in due course, and Gauri made her home with Shiva in Kailasa. Daksha, depicted in legend as an arrogant king, did not get on with his renunciative son-in-law and basically cut his daughter away from her natal family.
