On the other hand, I recall the post by a guy who was asked by a FA to swap FC seats and he didn't care much, so he said ok. The fellow came over and said "Thanks very much for letting me sit next to my wife. My name's Bruce Springsteen".

On a BA flight my wife and I were asked to give up our middle F class row 5 seats. We wanted to travel together and picked the two seats together (honeymoon) and declined. Nothing more was said.
Shortly before the door closes Keith Richards and his wife(?) board and take up individual seats on opposite sides of the F cabin.

I don't know for sure, but there didn't appear to be any other couples in the cabin (2 business guys in row 4 middle who worked thru the flight).
