Cantone and musical theater director Dixon made their union official thanks to New York state's landmark legalization of same-sex marriage.

"I got married for the same reasons you did," Cantone, 51, told new bride Joy Behar on The View. "We're older now. We've been together 20 years. After 20 years you're like, 'Thanks for the anti-climactic honeymoon government!' "
