Afghan Knitting

Last year I made an afghan in blue for my Sis using the birthdates of family members and the Knitting Calendar that shows a different stitch for each day.

There was plenty of blue yarn left over so this year when I got a wedding invitation I decided to start another afghan. Only 6 in the new blended family and the wedding date so that should be easy. Once I decide how to make the divisions of course. Should there be one large one for the wedding date and 3 from each of the original families on each side? Should there be one completely across the top and bottom for the 2 parents and then 2 on each side for the children? Should there be a "parent" square across the wedding square and then their 2 children on the side? (Tried to draw a picture of the last but came nothing near what I wanted so you'll just have to guess at what I mean.)

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

And since I got the wedding invitation a week ago and the wedding is in two weeks, no it will not be finished in time. Have a year to get it done but would like to have it done by Christmas and have it settled in my mind in the next few weeks.
