Wow, your "friend" sounds kind of nuts,which makes it an even better idea NOT to be her bridesmaid. People who are a little loony and can't take no for an answer tend to get very entitled and Bridezilla-ish when it comes to weddings. For starters:

1) Correct her every time she misuses your name. You don't have to make a big deal out of it, just repeat the correct name with a smile and wait for her to continue. Every. Single. Time. The idea here is to remind her, but also to call her out on her forgetfulness... which is probably not really a memory lapse, tbh.

2) Every time she brings up you being a bridesmaid, a firm: "As we discussed earlier, I can't be your bridesmaid." Repeat as necessary.


It's not like she can force you to attend fittings and get your hair done, so... /shrug

And if your family objects, be firm. Tell them it's your personal decision, but if they would like to volunteer to be her bridesmaid, they should let her know directly.

1) I've done that. It's not forgetfulness, she just won't use it. That's one of the reasons I want to cut ties.

2) Today is the first time we've discussed it. I heard about it from my sister a few days ago. I repeatedly declined, she said she'd ask again later and left.

I'm not changing my decision no matter what.

1) Definitely call her out, then. Every time she uses the wrong name and gets away with it, it just reinforces in her mind that she's right and you're the one who is wrong. But (not that you're planning on doing this but just in case) don't cite it as a reason for why you're not friends or why you can't be her bridesmaid. You don't want to offer any specific reasons for why you want to cut ties, because you don't want to give her anything to argue about.

2) "My decision is final, and it makes me uncomfortable that you keep asking me. Please stop asking me."
