I'm not his type, but he loves me?

I'm not my boyfriends type and I'm trying not to be bothered about it but its stuck in my mind. My boyfriend told me that before me he had a pretty specific type (long blonde hair and very thin, no curves etc) I don't understand why he wants me. He's told me he loves me more than anyone he's been with, that he wants to marry me and that I'm the girl he wants to have children and a future with. But I'm brunette, I'm not fat but I'm not stick thin which he likes and I have curves. I'm the complete opposite of his type. He told me in the early days before I knew his type that he wanted to find a relationship that wasn't just physical attraction and he wanted someone he could connect with on a deeper level, he was sick of there never being anything else there with his exs and we have done that, we have similar interests and outlooks on life. He told me he can fully be himself with me and that he normally had to hold back. I'm a pretty girl, and normally I feel confident with myself. I just feel as though I'm not good enough for him or that he's just settling for me. He says he's physically attracted to me as well as having this connection but I don't understand how he can be when I'm so different from the others. To sum this up, can he really want to spend his life with me when I'm not even his type?
