Here are the top three stories in Bedford today:

1. Presidential Hopeful Nikki Haley visited Bedford Town Hall last night. Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 and as ambassador to the United Nations for about two years, will also visit Henniker and Laconia this week. This is her third visit to New Hampshire since launching her campaign. (NBC10 Boston)
2. A Bedford woman's wedding dress is being withheld from her. Jesse Moltenbrey bought a wedding gown preservation kit from Bed Bath & Beyond with Memories. She sent them the dress earlier this year and got confirmation that it arrived there in early April. Then, she received an email that said, as of Mar. 11, the company would be holding all dresses until the big box store pays the $42,000 they're owed. (WMUR Manchester)
3. Does your non-profit group have an upcoming event or announcement you would like to promote? Bedford Community Television can help not-for-profit groups, educational agencies, and government agencies with its public service announcements. All you have to do is submit the announcement two weeks prior to the event date. (Bedford (NH) Community Television via Facebook)
