What kind of wedding band would you get with this?
I know with 3 stones you have to get them bent a bit, but what about solitaires? Do you think a half-eternity band would go?
Here's an example:

I have something similar. A round cut .5 carat solitaire with a bead set 1/4 carat band that look almost identical to the one you posted. It's a really lovely combination. my only suggestions are to either get them soldered together, or find a solitaire that has a cathedral setting, the diamond sits up higher so the bands stay flush. I have the cathedral setting, the jeweler told my fiance to get it for that specific reason.

I have a round cut solitaire, and I tried on sooo many different bands to find the perfect combination. Part of the beauty of a solitaire is that it speaks for itself. My original thought was to get a band similar to what you chose, but when I tried it on it seemed gaudy, and overshadowed my engagement ring. What's the point of a solitaire of you crowd it with other stones?
I ended up going with a very thin pave set half eternity band. This one actually:

I know that you chose moissanite, but I found this one on the site you were looking on and thought it would look gorgeous with a solitaire:

I would suggest visiting any jewelry store and trying on rings similar to what you plan on purchasing. I was so glad that I did, because what I had planned on ordering didn't look as nice as I had pictured. Happy Shopping!!! And, Congratulations - many happy returns of the day!

Maybe you could go with a round cut center stone with smaller princess cut side stones, or vice versa. Look at her other jewelry. If she wears simpler pieces, then she may prefer a solitaire. If there seems to be more glitz, go for one with side stones. Also, round diamonds have the most sparkle and fire of any cut. The best thing that you could do is enlist one of her close friends who you can trust to be discreet to go shopping with you. Chances are that your girlfriend has discussed more in detail with her friends exactly what she wants. However, don't wait too long to pop the question, because that is a hard secret for a friend to keep!

Pretty engagement ring. He chose well!
I think with a solitaire, a plain wedding band looks best.

I love it and I think they are simply gorgeous. Make sure you can return it if it doesn't fit snuggly though. You really have to try it on to see if it's going to fit snuggly or if it's going to gap and pinch your finger between the bands.
Solitaires you normally do not have to get them bend but that still doesn't mean the bands will fit tight. In my case, two 3mm bands like that would be too wide on my finger. Have you tried that on? Perhaps see if they have that same half-eternity in a more narrow band.
I love the half-eternity though. It's wonderful and the full eternity tends to be really uncomfortable with your fingers. The half-eternity is by far the better choice.

i think your choice is stunning elegant and beautiful :)
I also have a round cut solitair engagement ring, and we chose for me to have a plain wedding band, and will add on a eternity ring later in life.

I think it will go. My friend has a 3 stone engagement ring and she got a wedding ring almost identical to yours and it looks fine together. Even though you're not getting diamonds, I think it looks just as sparkly. Very pretty.

I like that combination. Solitaire engagement rings are quite simple, yet amazing.
I think adding the diamond band makes it more dramatic and perfect.
I love it.

I have a friend who has a Tiffany brilliant cut engagement ring and her wedding band is pretty much the same as the one you picked. They look great together, yours will be gorgeous.

That would be perfect together. I don't even think they will have to bend the band. If you go to a jewelery store they Will let you try a bunch on.
