I had conceptualized and developed the site as a timely response to the great need for wedding suppliers to have a venue to connect with clients online. More and more couples are getting married in Bohol lately. Even couples from outside Bohol are having their weddings here.
If you are an engaged couple looking into celebrating your wedding here in Bohol, please visit BoholWeddings.com. The site will be a definite great help in the tedious process (but fun!) process of wedding preparations.

HELP! A Business Magazine Wants To Use My Photo For FREE!!! (Updated)
---------------------------------------------
UPDATE!!! I have already sent my reply (a very polite message, mind you) to the magazine. I hinted at getting paid for the photo. Apparently, they are "just starting out" and couldn't afford paid photos.
Anyways, thanks for everyone who commented and replied. I learned a few bits of lessons. I hope you guys did, too. :)
---------------------------------------------
(With all due respects to those who deserve it.)
PLEASE HELP! Somebody sent me the message below through flickr. What
should my response be??? (Please amongst my possible choices below.)

Dear Sir:
I am xxxx xxxxx xxxxx, a research associate from XXXXXXXX Business
Philippines magazine. For our September issue, we are going to feature
food crisis in one of the magazine's sections. With this, I would like
to ask for permission if we can use the photo you posted in this link:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanmacalandag/2470242229/
Please do expect that we will cite you as the source of the photo and
as a form of gratitude, we will send you a pdf copy of the magazine
once the September issue comes out.
Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your positive response.
Sincerely yours,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx

"Hi! Thanks for choosing my photo for use in your respectable
magazine. I am really, deeply honored by this. And thanks for the "PDF
copy" you are sending in gratitude. You don't have to do it really."
B. "Recognition-Freak" Reply
"Wow! My photo in your magazine?! Wow! You're gonna cite me as the
source?! Wow! How big is the FONT of my name gonna be in print? I sure
would get more clients from this. Not that my target clients read your
magazine. But, sure! Your readers would definitely want to hire me
after they read my name alongside my amazing photograph. Hopefully.
P.S. Where can I buy your magazine? Pamimigay ko sa mga Tito at Tita
ko kasi."

"Shove your "PDF Copy" up your digital ass bitch...you fuckers are
disgusting...you are selling your magazine but you want to get your
content for free? MagpaCONTEST na lang kayo like all the others!
Gratitude my ass..."

though.)
