What was the reaction of the American public when Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis?

by xmachina

Did the public think that this marriage was inappropriate or even a bad idea, as it was only 5 years after JFK's assassination?

I always heard the marriage was not consummated and was strictly a means of supporting her after JFK was assassinated. Is that true or was it a media cover story? Was Onasiss a friend of the family when JFK was alive? Was the marriage based on some sort of chivalrous tradition?
