A rainy wedding meansthat Gods on Olympus are pleased and will bless thenewlyweds with good luck, (they need it), prosperity(they have it) and fertility, (no comment.) But if theGods on Olympus were pleased by the wedding, theymay have been (excluding the participants) the onlyones who were. The modern Greeks had a word for it—several words in fact, the sum of which was “Mrs. Ken-nedy married beneath her station.” The Spanish hada word for it: “Lamentable.” The Swedish newspaperscried out: “Jackie, how could you?” and columnistHarriet Van Horne summed up the feelings of the ma-jority of American women when she wrote: “For nearlyfive years the world has admired Mrs. Kennedy’s gal-lantry, elegance and rare beauty but now the lovelyJacqueline has disappointed us.

Jackie was first introduced to Onassisby her sister Lee, (who, according to gossip, had onceset her cap for the billionaire playboy). Shortly afterJackie's wedding to John F. Kennedy, the young couplewere entertained on the Onassis yacht and in the en-suing years a casual, if not terribly close friendshipdeveloped between the three. In 1963 when Jackie wasmaking a slow and painful recovery after the death ofher baby son Patrick, Onassis suggested that she andher sister Lee cruise the Greek Island on the Christina.She accepted.
