Bride, Groom Have Yihud Picnic

"During the cocktail hour, Evan and I observed the Jewish tradition of 'yihud,' during which the couple gets 10 to 15 minutes alone together as new husband and wife," Anya says. "Traditionally it's done in a secluded room, but we decided to have a picnic instead. It was a wonderful interlude between the build up to the ceremony and the celebration of the reception."
