Due to COVID restrictions, only 50 guests could stay for the party, so earlier this month, Hughes donned the same tasteful black dress and went to the same exact venue so that her friend could do it all over again. She\u2019s had enough.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was personally victimized by two of my friends,\u201d she said, claiming she\u2019s suffering from PTSD after playing TaskRabbit for the past four years. She\u2019s spent countless hours trolling sites like Amazon and Etsy for matching outfits for multiple bachelorette parties. She had to leave one wedding midcelebration to buy more alcohol. At every wedding, there were the awkward glamour shots and forced smiles greeting distant family members. One of the friends even expected two gifts. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever emotionally or financially recover,\u201d she said with a laugh. Still, the pocketbook pain was real. \u201cI literally took out a zero interest credit card to survive strictly for nuptial purposes,\u201d added Hughes, who plans to use her tax return to pay off the debt.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"566\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?w=566\" alt=\"Hughes (left) was the made of honor in her best friend's wedding twice. \" class=\"wp-image-21863226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1132 1132w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=849 849w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=566 566w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=283 283w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Adrienne-Hughes2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\"\/><figcaption>Hughes (left) was the maid of honor in her best friend\u2019s wedding twice.
