Don't expect Madonna and Guy Ritchie's wedding to be too over the top, the two are expected to make their vows in a low-key Buddhist ceremony, according to a British paper.

According to the National Enquirer, this is the reason behind the choice of site for the Material Mom’s wedding. The couple believes this location will provide them with the calm atmosphere they're looking for.

"The venue is very peaceful and she wants it to have an air of tranquility," a source said. "Madonna is a devout follower of Buddhism and she wants the whole thing to have a Buddhist feel."

According to the tabloid, Madonna simply does not want a repeat of her first wedding, with actor Sean Penn, remembered for its over-the-top insanity with huge press coverage. Held on a beachfront in California, it was much too accessible by the press.

"Her last wedding was a nightmare with helicopters buzzing overhead and was a bit of a disaster. She doesn't want to repeat those mistakes and Guy has left much of the organizing to her."

On the other hand, the Material Mom, just gave one of her girlfriends a birthday present worth $1 million! The Material Girl showed up with three musicians at the woman's LA home and sang a medley of her hits.
