If you’re like me, then you’re in the mood to celebrate the , which makes it legal for same-sex couples to marry in all 50 states. And if, also like me, you have a sweet-tooth, then may I suggest a pint of ice cream?

Luckily, Ben & Jerry’s have read our minds, and have honorarily renamed their iconic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream ‘I Dough, I Dough’ for the summer, in honor of the landmark decision.

It will be available at participating Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops nationwide and hopefully served at many same-sex weddings throughout the summer.

Happy (and delicious) times!
