Four days after her Dec. 18 wedding to Richard John Toon, Laurie Stone wrote a Substack post telling her readers how she took one look at Mr. Toon 18 years ago and fell for him.
“An electron bounced between us,” she wrote on “Everything is Personal,” her newsletter.
That didn’t prevent her from feeling ambivalent as they stood before the judge in Hudson, N.Y., last month.
“The history of the institution has not been a good thing for women.”Ms. Stone, 78, is a feminist and writer.
For 25 years, until 1999, she wrote weekly columns about theater, books and standup comedy from a feminist perspective for The Village Voice.
