In a recent change, Facebook is allowing same-sex newlyweds to celebrate their unions with more appropriate cake topper icons. Previously, the icon was an immutable bride-and-groom design, but now, male Facebook users choosing male partners in the "Marriage" Timeline event pop-up will see the icon switch to a dual-groom design (pictured above), and vice versa for female users. While the change is undoubtedly great news, you still aren’t able to choose a nonstandard icon without linking to your spouse’s Facebook account, which means users whose significant others aren’t on the social network are still stuck with the old design.
