In her role as a super successful wedding planner Jennifer Lopez's character jokingly says, "Those who can't wed, plan." That's obviously not the case, and pursuing a career in wedding planning surely takes a real love for weddings, an eye for design, and a desire to help others. As with any job, wedding planning has its advantages — like the feeling of accomplishment when your vision comes to life, connecting with a couple, and feeling like you've made a difference in their special day, and its disadvantages — like a hectic work schedule with irregular hours, having to compromise your opinions often, and going through slow business periods. Based on your experience with wedding planners and planning your own wedding, do you think it could be a career for you?

but
there wasn't a lot of choices. you picked your colors, from a few that were available and the type of flowers and how big the wedding/reception was. we used the same catering company and
florist everytime. there weren't any HUGE weddings, they were very nice but smallish and simple. it was a volunteer position and i really enjoyed it. i think i got all the wedding needs out
of my system, because when i got married i was ready to elope, lol. i had already done all the things for a wedding that i thought would be fun or pretty and didn't need to do them at my own
wedding. that was enough for me. i did it for almost a year.
I would love to be one! I'm trying to get my foot in the door right now... if any of the ones who responded that they are currently working as one are in the San Diego could message me, that would be great!
(I'm currently a college senior and about to graduate with a BA in Psych and experience in events planning. =)
