How do I go about becoming a wedding planner when I'm a little older?

Question

I am 16 years old and recently discovered that I might want to look into becoming a wedding planner. I live in Oklahoma so I don't know if there are alot of people here that would need me since Oklahoma isn't the most popular state, but if you have any advice on what classes I should take or any personal experience I would love that. I have no clue how to go about it and what all it involves. Thank you!
