"Je vais me marier, Marie" (English translation: "I´m getting married, Mary") was the Swiss entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, performed in French by Patrick Juvet.

In the song he gives the news that he "is going to be married" and says that to his friends. He tells that he is thinking to make children to his wife.

The song was performed eighth on the night (following Spain's Mocedades with "Eres tú" and preceding Yugoslavia's Zdravko Čolić with "Gori vatra"). At the close of voting, it had received 79 points, placing 12th in a field of 17.

It was succeeded as Swiss representative at the 1974 Contest by Piera Martell with "Mein Ruf nach dir".
