    We're sorry, this video cannot be played from your current location. Every little girl dreams of her perfect wedding. For Vita Cresswell, her dream wedding was one that her grandmother could attend. But when the day came, she took it one step further and gave the 100-year-old to take a starring role -- as bridesmaid. "I was quite overwhelmed about the idea of getting married. I don't like all the fuss," the 29-year-old from England told InsideEdition.com. She said she couldn't figure out how brides come up with the perfect date, so when she realized her grandmother's 100th birthday was coming up, she decided that it must have been a sign.

    A study carried out by Law firm Slater and Gordon found that 8% of people in the UK admitted to sexting. This was defined in the study as ending flirty messages or explicit images to someone who they are not in a relationship with. 35% of the 2,150 men and women surveyed in the online poll said they did not think sexting another person constituted cheating. The law firm commissioned the study after finding their clients were increasingly trying to cite adultery in divorce proceedings even though the law would not allow for it. While adultery is responsible for just under 40% of divorces in the UK, the grounds for divorce citing adultery dictates that extramarital sex has to have taken place. Rupi Rai, family lawyer at Slater and Gordon, said: "With more people having acces...

    Often referred to as the silent killer, ovarian cancer is universally feared as it presents very few symptoms. By the time it’s noticeable, it’s usually too late, with only 20% of cases being detected early enough to treat. Thankfully, the disease isn’t invisible. Here are six early warning signs to watch out for. 1. A Swollen Stomach Ovarian cancer causes internal inflammation, which can become visible. Of course, there are many reasons for a swollen stomach, such as Burger King, being a couch potato, or receiving a visit from the stork. Only be concerned if you’re ballooning for no reason. 2. Unexplained Weight Loss Whilst many people would be glad to ditch a few pounds, without any exercise or dieting, sudden weight loss is a common symptom of cancer, and should be inve...

    A new study finds that eating foods known to promote inflammation may increase the chances of colon cancer, reports Livescience. Those food develop polyps in the large intestine, or colon which are a common precursor to colon cancer, the report says. Compared with people whose diets contained the lowest amounts of pro-inflammatory foods, people whose diets contained the highest amounts of pro-inflammatory foods — such as processed meats and red meat — were 56 percent more likely to have one of these polyps, also called an "adenoma," according to the new study. "Inflammation is very consistently associated with [a person's] risk of colon cancer," said Dr Roberd Bostick, a professor of epidemiology at Emory University in Georgia and the senior author on the study that was pr...
