Reflection:

A career I’m interested in becoming is a wedding planner because I love weddings and I love, the idea of love and it would be a job where I could combine both things int0 one. And I believe it would be awesome to be a part of such a special day for the brides like picking their dress or planning their bridal shower, and helping them enjoy their special day by taking all their stress away.
