Simon & Ariel

Simon Kotyk, 27 and 26-year-old Ariel Hauck met on Instagram some eight months ago. Ariel, a hair colourist, found the model on her explore feed. She wasn't looking for love, but in a fit of lust, tapped a few hearts on his timeline... then a few more when she realised he was also local to LA. His tattoos were a "huge turn on". Simon reciprocated, then slid into Ariel's DM's with a compliment - "you're beautiful". A date was arranged soon after Halloween 2017. Weeks later, in bed, Simon tattooed Ariel's face - marking his maiden for life with a dagger that's been lodged in his heart ever since. Skip another few weeks ahead and Elvis married them in Las Vegas. Ever since their rock n roll romance has played out one post at a time on Instagram, simultaneously setting hearts aflutter, while making others gag with jealously.
