There are certain days of the Islamic calendar which have become associated with the early events of the Islamic history; for example, the 10th of Muharram is the day of mourning for the massacre at Karbala or the day of the Prophet's death in Safar, etc. Since such days are commemorated by the Muslims as days of mourning, it is socially and, to some extent, religiously not recommended to have a marriage ceremony on such days.
To do a Nikkah in a simple way and to Celebrate Marriage with "band/Baja, Dhool" Dancing on Marriage songs and to decorate houses are different things.
Imam Hussain's family was subjected to walk from karbala to kufa to shaam in the hot sand, with shackles from neck to feet, suffering humiliation upon humiliation while people threw stones and garbage on them. If we want to hold a celebration during these sacred days then we are no better than those who actually put the prophet's family through this.
If you are really in trouble, Yes, you must go ahead and do it in a simple fashion but keep Imam Hussain and his family's trouble always in your mind.
May Allah will forgive you for this.
and i hope the Prophet PBUH will have no problem on the day of judgement. Obviously you have a "Haq" on him, If you love him(PBUH).
There is a hades of Holy Prophet.
"you cant be muslim until i am dearer for you more than any your own".
Aashura and karbala is greatest tragedy of man-kind. Holly Prophet's family was killed and if some one claim that he/she love Ahlul Biat and true follower of Holy Prophet (pbuh) than thinking of getting marry with the celebration is very hard.
Errr, even if it did occur in Muharram, the month had no significance. The Nabi (saw), Imam Ali (as) and Bibi Fatima (sa) found out about what will happen in Muharram, in Karbala on Imam Hussain’s birth through Jibraeel. They were not aware. I’ll look for a hadith to back this up InshaAllah.

interesting point ... can you tell me a bit more about this ... just for extra knowledge?
I'm still looking for a hadith InshaAllah but the story is that after Imam Hussain (as) was born Jibraeel came down from the heavens and told the Nabi (saw) that a party/group will kill him and his loved ones and he will die thirsty etc etc. So after he left, Prophet Mohammad (saw) was crying. Bibi Fatima saw him crying and asked why he was and he explained what will happen. She asked if you will be there or if Ali or Hassan will be there.

Narrated Umm al-Fadl daughter of al-Harith
Umm al-Fadl went in to see Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) andsaid, "Messenger of Allah, I had an objectionable dream last night." Heasked
what it was and she replied, "It was terrible." He asked, "But what wasit?" She replied, "I seemed to see a piece of your body cut off andplaced in my
lap." He said, "You have seen something good. If Allah wills Fatimahwill give birth to a son who will be in your lap." Fatimah then gavebirth to
al-Husayn who was placed in her lap as Allah's Messenger (peace be uponhim) had said. One day she went in to see Allah's messenger and placed
him in his lap. She turned round, and noticing tears falling from the eyes of Allah's Messenger, she said, "Prophet of Allah, for whom I would give my
father and mother as ransom, what is the matter with you?" He replied,"Gabriel came to me and informed me that my people will kill this sonof mine."
She asked if he really meant this one and he replied, "Yes, and he brought me a piece of red earth." (Tirmidhi, hadith 1639)
