Even in Punjab we have this Rasam. Red thread is tied to Bride and groom on haldi day which is 3 days before actual wedding. Its removed on day after wedding rituals and that concludes the wedding rituals.
We Bengalis also have it, a yellow thread is tied but it's tied a week before the wedding and opened 8 days after the wedding by a Pooja.
