If you pay to have seats assigned in advance, you can change them between the time you purchase and the time the flight goes under airport control and no one can change their seats, yes. You'll also be able to see the seat map before you purchase and can opt not to purchase if there aren't two free seats next to each other. It should be about $11 per person to prebook a non-preferred seat and that seems to be the price systemwide on BE tickets (that's what we paid on ORD-DFW and the price that was offered when I did a dummy BE booking ORD-LHR a few months ago).
