Madonna and Guy Ritchie will pledge their commitment to each other at a special Kabbalah ceremony next month.

The pair plan to put an end to rumours about their marriage with the 'Shabbat Nachamu' event, which will be held on the weekend of Madonna's 50th birthday.

Madonna and Guy's vows will be witnessed by their family and friends at the couple's Ashcombe estate in Wiltshire. Two rabbis are also flying in from New York for the ceremony.

"They have a special Shabbat party in August - separate from Madonna's 50th," an insider told The Sun. "It's Shabbat Nachamu - which they want to do once a year to declare their feelings for each other.

"It's a very important dinner for them - they want everyone to know they are still in love. [Madonna] and Guy are making speeches in front of the rabbis. Knowing Guy, he'll have a laugh with it and they'll make light of the whole thing. But there is a serious message."

Ritchie recently responded to press speculation about his marriage by insisting that it is "fine".
