None that I know of. Just pray regular namaz along with nafils too if you want, and make dua for a happy and successful marriage. After Nikkah, make alot of dua and make sure you're able to because people will be hugging you like mad and for me, it was annoying because it got too loud and I couldn't do it properly. You can pray salatul hajaat too if you want and ask Allah swt to bless your marriage.

Re: Rituals to perform before/after Nikkah

Muslim jurists are of the view that on their first time together on the wedding night a Muslim groom is recommended to place his hand on the bride’s forehead and seek Allah’s blessing for them both. This is based on the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that reads: “When one of you marries a woman or buys a servant (this was before the abolition of slavery), let him say ‘O Allah! I seek from You her good and the good You created in her; and I seek refuge in You from her evil and the evil You created in her.’”
It is also a Sunnah to offer two rak`ahs (prayer units) in which the husband leads his wife. This is a sign of showing obedience and submission to Allah when they are still on the threshold of their new family life. Also, a husband is recommended to offer his wife something to drink after having some sips of the same glass. On making love to his wife for the first time, a Muslim husband should say: “O Allah! Keep Satan away from us and keep him away from any offspring You may bless us with.”

The husband should, at the time of consummating the marriage with his wife or before that, place his hand on the front part of her head, mention the name of Allah Most High, and pray for Allah’s blessings. As in the statement of the Prophet

: "When any of you marries a woman … he should hold her forelock, mention Allah Most High, and pray for His blessings saying: “O Allaah, I ask You for the good in her and the good with which You have created her, and I seek refuge in You from the evil in her and the evil with which You have created her.” {Allaahumma innee as’aluka min khairiha wa khairi maa jabaltaha 'alaihi wa a’oodhubika min sharriha wa sharri maa jabaltaha 'alaihi} [Aboo Dawood and others. Al-Bukhari in “Af’aalul-'Ibaad”, Aboo Dawood, Ibn Majah, al-Haakim, al-Baihaqee and Aboo Ya’laa with hasan isnaad …]

I am saying this in the context because someone told here that husband and wife both after Nikkah have t offer namaz together where husband have to lead and wife have to follow, and then husband have to put hand over the forehead of the wife and make dua for the kids and future life to be guided by Allah SWT.. in many case that's not possible.
