The couple wed in a lavish New York ceremony in front of 400 people at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan in 2013, with the couple’s big day reportedly costing $1 million.
However, Faryal recently admitted she would do things very differently today, admitting she would have a smaller ceremony to renew her vows to the athlete for their 10th anniversary next year.
Speaking on the couple’s reality show Meet the Khans: Big In Bolton, Faryal said, “I wish I could change everything about my wedding.
“I changed my clothes because I’m more fashionable now and I’m definitely more confident in who I am and being in front of the camera all the time.”

When asked if she would renew her vows, she said: “Maybe on my tenth wedding anniversary [which is] in another year.
“I think I would just do a beach wedding with a hundred people you know instead of four thousand people you barely know and really enjoy it.”
Faryal and Amir had a second party in Amir’s native UK, in his hometown of Bolton, a week after their US wedding in 2013. They reportedly invited 4,000 people to the occasion.

Last year, Faryal revealed she vowed to make her marriage work when she found out she was pregnant with their second child.
The couple’s relationship has been plagued by cheating scandals in the past, but the boxer has now insisted he is a “changed man”.
Previous allegations about Amir’s affairs have included claims that he cheated on his wife days after the birth of their second child.
He is said to have bedded then-22-year-old beautician Sophia Hammani after she met him at a nightclub.
She believed Amir was divorced at the time of their one-night stand and didn’t realize he was married until he shared a family photo on Instagram.
The sports star dismissed the claims as “nonsense” on Twitter at the time, saying she was simply a fan who got upset when he wouldn’t pose for a photo.
Amir, who is worth £22.5million, is also said to have been caught on celebrity dating app Raya not long after the cheating scandal.
