Two ceremonies; do I surprise him with a second ring?

We're having a civil ceremony in a week and a half. Because I was really broke then, he paid for both of our rings. I told him I didn't want a fancy solitaire, just an eternity band as an engagement ring(I was kind of fibbing. I know his finances are limited, too.). I LOVE the band he got me, and he loves his. But I found an antique setting on eBay for $25; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=220214196180&_trksid=p3984.cWON.m313.IVI I'm going to have either inexpensive gemstones or cz's set in it, to make it match my band, and replace the stones with higher quality ones in the future. We can use it as the wedding ring during the formal ceremony. Should I buy him another ring too, maybe engrave it with his personal motto, and present it to him as his wedding gift before the formal ceremony(I already got him a gift for the first one)? I'm still broke, but I kind of want to separate our formal vows from our civil, and surprise him a little.

1. No don't get him another ring. Save your money. Surprise him another way.
2. Congratulations! I love the antique setting, its gorgeous! What a deal! You can buy him a ring in titanium for a small price and they look awesome. Engraving will probably cost you more than the ring. It would make a great gift for him.
