Eternity style ring instead of engagement ring?

Hey,
I recently got engaged four months ago Grin however my lovely fiancé presented me (randomly) with a half eternity style ring instead of classic engagement ring. I’m trying really hard to not sound selfish; I love this man with all my heart and I was over the moon when he proposed. I love that he chose the ring and proposed with it. I could never change it for that reason. However, I can’t help but feel slightly disappointed I’ll never get a beautiful classic engagement ring —that sounds bad doesn’t it?!— Blush
I’ve even had people comment on how odd a ring choice it was...
When i gently asked him about why he picked the ring he admitted he only decided he was going to propose to me three hours before we left for the airport. He therefore went into the jewellers in a panic and discovered they only had my size in one ring (?!) and bought it.
Basically my questions are:

  1. Am I being ungrateful? It is still a beautiful ring at the end of the day
  2. Has anyone else been presented with an eternity ring? If so, is that want you wanted?
  3. Any ideas on what wedding ring I should buy?

Thank you, sorry for the long post!!

Here’s an example of what the ring looks like (half eternity in a wishbone shape):

I like it. I'm also impressed that he knew your ring size.

You could have a stone added if you wanted, or use a more traditional 'engagement' ring as a wedding ring.

Are you intending to have children? You could add a stone when you have a child
