Oh people make such a fuss about things. Would they prefer 'the ugly couple' or the 'couple who have nothing to say to each other' or the 'couple who have bad dress sense'? In my catering days when dealing with the public not sitting at numbered tables, say in a bar staff would use all manner of descriptions to communicate who they meant- whether it be 'the lady in pink' or the 'family with red hair' If a couple were the only black/asian/whites in the room then that might be the easiest way to define them.
Yes there are bigger battles to fight. Totally agree with einochi's (who should be referred to as the girl with gorgeous eyes!) point about double standards.
