D/G are probably not a good choice due to the divider. In business on the 787 your only hope for communication without leaving your seat is shouting loudly to the whole cabin or sending a text message with the IFE - though with D/G you could probably tap messages between you in morse code.

That suggestion was for a 3rd seat, as the OP in that thread was travelling with 2 companions - still not ideal, but if you stood up, you could probably talk over the divider without having to cross an aisle. But for a pair, C/F or F/H are probably best though I seem to remember middle rows being not entirely aligned with the seats in the same row window sides - maybe best explained by pictures

They are wonderful seats - just not if you want to share with your partner or attend to young children. They really are business seats. I'm sure you'll have a great flight though - enjoy!
