Steven Epprecht and Marcos Ruiz are officially married after celebrating their love with a romantic outdoor wedding in Spain.
The couple exchanged vows at Castillo de Batres, a historic wedding venue surrounded by gardens near Madrid.
Steven announced the happy news by sharing photographs and video from the ceremony with the simple declaration, We’re married!
He described the celebration as more magical and perfect than the couple could ever have imagined.
The photographs show the two grooms coordinating beautifully in white double-breasted dinner jackets, black bow ties and dark trousers.
Steven and Marcos stood beneath large arrangements of white flowers during the ceremony before walking through a joyful shower of flower petals thrown by their guests.
The elegant celebration marked the culmination of a relationship that began across national borders.
Steven and Marcos have been together since 2021.
The couple initially maintained a long-distance relationship between Switzerland and Spain.
Marcos eventually left his life in Spain and moved to Zurich so that he and Steven could build their everyday life together.
The decision represented a significant commitment long before wedding rings entered the story.
Steven became publicly known in Switzerland as a model, influencer and entrepreneur after reaching the final of the Mister Switzerland competition in 2012.
He later built a successful social-media career and co-founded a business working with brands and content creators.
Steven publicly came out as gay during Zurich Pride in 2021 after previously worrying that openness about his sexuality might affect his career.
He has since shared his relationship with Marcos openly, despite occasionally encountering homophobic reactions online.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 following a romantic proposal on the Greek island of Mykonos.
Steven arranged for their hotel terrace to be decorated with flowers and candles for a private dinner overlooking the sea.
The plan almost encountered an unexpected obstacle when a large cruise ship temporarily blocked the carefully chosen sunset view.
The ship eventually moved, the sunset returned and Marcos said yes.
Steven later said he had known from the moment they met that Marcos was the man of his life.
He described their relationship as natural and grounded in complete trust, mutual acceptance and the freedom for each partner to remain himself.
After announcing the engagement, the couple considered holding their wedding in Switzerland, Spain or on a Greek island.
They knew that they wanted a warm summer celebration held outdoors and surrounded by the many people important to them.
Steven initially suggested that organising everything before summer 2027 might be difficult.
The couple ultimately accelerated those plans and selected Spain as the place where their two lives and families would come together.
The wedding appears to have included another promise made during the early planning period.
Swiss singer Remo Forrer once jokingly offered to perform at the ceremony, and the newlyweds credited him as their wedding singer after the celebration.
Steven and Marcos thanked their friends, relatives and wedding team for creating a day they said exceeded everything they had imagined.
The images capture an elegant event, but the deeper story is about the journey that brought the couple there.
Their relationship survived distance, an international move and the challenge of combining two established lives in one city.
The wedding also offers another joyful and unapologetically public image of two men building a future together.
Steven has previously spoken about the importance of being open about his sexuality and refusing to hide a central part of his identity from his audience.
Sharing the marriage with hundreds of thousands of followers continues that visibility through celebration rather than explanation.
The couple began as two men attempting to make love work between Spain and Switzerland.
Five years later, Steven Epprecht and Marcos Ruiz walked through falling flower petals at a Spanish castle as husbands.
