Default I am confused

Which one is correct:

"My father was opposed to ME getting married."
or
"My father was opposed to MY getting married."


I have another question:

" ... "The Silent Villagers" is a gripping tale with enough twist and turns to keep you interested until the very last page. Why ARE this couple so obsessed with THEIR privacy and what secrets ARE THEY hiding? There's only one way to find out and that's to read the book..."

This is a passage from some text I found on Internet (BBC - Homepage), I am confused, why are the verbs in plural, I would say couple IS...

Thanks in advance...
