I agree. It is not proper for me.

Onions are associated to "tears", what a weird idea.

@LadyDuck I think it is weird too. Perhaps her parents are onion-growers.

More like a political statement as the prices of onions cannot be controlled by the government and they are considered a priced commodity nowadays.

@cacay1 It's time to put a stop to these cartels who try to make it seem like there's a shortage of something in order to justify skyrocketing pricing.

@cacay1 Its a combination of middlemen hoarding supplies and collaborating with government officials to just sit on it and do nothing to stop the hoarding.

@cacay1 I guess the government needs to do something about it. @rsa

Bad taste in my opinion.

@LadyDuck I agree. It is not the right thing to do.

@Shavkat I have read later that they wanted to distribute the onions to the guests. This is a nice gesture, but it was not necessary to use them as a bouquet.

@cacay1 A wedding is not a joke, I think women should follow traditions.

I was too busy looking at all the faces of the people there (they are so similar somehow, until I suddenly figure out that they are either from the same country, and perhaps, some in that group are even close relatives to each other.) It is funny (after reading your post) when I look at the photo again. hehehe.... Onions are smelly aren't they? Aren't they worried of having that raw onion smells stuck to their pretty gowns? (Wouldn't garlics mix with onions look better?)

@YrNemo It seems like you are reading my mind. I also thought how do they smell like while walking inside the church. I bet the red onions boquet would be painful if the bride will throw it.

They need to buy extra insurance for this specific day then - that is, if they really use those onion bunches! (Is that photo a real thing, or just something someone makes up for a laugh?)

I agree. It is not the usual thing to see during the wedding day.

@cacay1 I also read the article that they distributed the red onions to their guests after the wedding.

I just wonder why they did it. Any message they want to express?

@Beestring I am unsure why they did it. It seems that they just want to show that they can afford these red onions because they are too pricey in my country.
