..."I think it's important that our marriage is recognised equally and isn't put to the side in a special category," said Leu.
The men plan to cement their marriage with a religious wedding next year.
In June, the council presiding over the Christian Catholic Church of Switzerland to which Carnier belongs voted to bless the marriages of same-sex couples with the same sacraments and rituals as heterosexual weddings.
The couple plans to invite family and friends to their religious ceremonies, including two adult children Leu shares with his ex-wife and a two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter.
"I'm convinced that if she grows up with three grandfathers, then it will be something very natural for her," Leu said. "The horizons have expanded. One sees there are many different ways to live today.""
