I was asked twice this past week and didn't know the answer.
Does anyone have knowledge and, preferably a reference, as to when
[q]iddushin and nisuin were consolidated?
One should not ask questions that assume facts not in evidence.
In this case, the questioner assumes that qiddushin and nisuin have
been consolidated. The questioner must first establish that they have
been; and, in fact, we see, on the contrary, in Episode 4 of Season 2
of "Shtisel", that they have not. There we see qiddushin taking place
in a restaurant, without being immediately followed by nisuin, since
one can take judicial notice of the fact that restaurants do not
contain yixud rooms.
