I'm taking my spouse on a business trip with me and I have to get the tickets separately since mine is purchased through my company's travel agency. This is a trip within the US.
You only need one award seat because this is a different bucket than upgrading with miles. Best to call DL and first find out if F award is available for your flt. Note it may be only high award. It is also possible your UG will not clear. Even if it does, you may not have seats together.
