I'd like to use a wide aperture however my widest aperture is f3.5 as of now.

f/3.5 is certainly wide enough to get shallow depth of field.

Things to remember to get a shallow dof and good bokeh:
1. Use a wide aperture (small number) and
2. a long focal length, meaning to zoom in.
3. Get close to your subject and
4. have a long distance between your subject and its background.

Hello Uldridge. Welcome to our forum.
We look forward to seeing your photos.

Composition.... I find the first photo a bit busy and somewhat perplexing with respect to the cables.
Their inclusion distracts attention from the main subjects.
I tried a crop and liked it better... give it a try.

I do like the positioning of the couple.
A bit provocative, but provocative is good.

Second photo... again, I would crop to remove the metal plates.
Otherwise, I think the composition is fine.
I like that the bridge is only slightly out of focus.
It does divert attention, but it is an interesting diversion.
