A: There is no special significance for performing nikaah on the day of Aashura. The Hadith teaches us that when a suitable match is found, the nikaah should be performed immediately and should not be delayed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن أبي هريرة قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا خطب إليكم من ترضون دينه وخلقه فزوجوه إلا تفعلوا تكن فتنة في الأرض وفساد عريض (سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 1084)
