Hello Thea
From all i know you just need to have a passport, go to the city hall (its called gemainde or something like that pardon my german) and ask them.
Or better yet tell your boyfriend since hes swiss to apply with you, together in the city hall for making a marriage termin in 3 4 months!!
Hope this is helpfull its all i know.!

If you want to know exactly what is needed why don't you go to the embassy in Bern and ask? Or have your BF do it. Better than asking people that aren't in the Swiss government for advise.
