When Stephanie and Arryn posted their engagement boudoir-esque photos online, Stephanie says she wasn't expecting it to go viral at all. Upon receiving the photos from their shoot with Wolf & Rose Photography, Stephanie (who is choosing to go be identified by first name only) said she gawked over the photos for a good ten minutes, which is understandable when you see how gorgeous the photos came out. Over email, Stephanie said the photos made her wonder if that was how her and Arryn looked all the time when they are together. "We look as if nothing else in the world matters but each other, which is something I've never had with a significant other before."

Now the photos have gone viral, receiving over 67K reactions on Facebook.

Stephanie said she was surprised the shoot went viral, saying she was expecting "a few thumbs up, a couple comments, the normal kind of thing you get when you do something out of your comfort zone. But when the album went into the hundreds of shares/comments, into the thousands and so on, I couldn't believe we were reaching that many people. It was a shock to say the least. The support and love that people have given us is beyond words."

Thousands of people have commented on the post, expressing how beautiful the photos are and how perfectly the shoot captured the look of love. But Stephanie says that a week after the pictures were posted and had started gathering attention, she was told her employment was under discussion because the photoshoot had gone viral. Over email, Stephanie said "There was concern on how it would affect the company's reputation and how customers would feel seeing the session online." Stephanie says she was let go the following Monday.

She told Buzzfeed that her former employer, Austin Bank Texas, told her the shoot was inappropriate for their family-oriented company because she was topless. Stephanie said over email that Arryn, who distributes and collects batteries from local businesses in East Texas, has not run into any issues with his employer after the shoot. Stephanie said Arryn has received nothing but support, with one co-worker even saying he loved the message behind the photos.

Austin Bank Texas did not immediately respond to Cosmopolitan.com's requests for comment.
