Originally, the only person I wanted to see it was my mom. She was the only person I ever brought with me b/c it was something that I wanted just the two of us to share. However, when my grandpa (who was one of the men I admire and adore most in life) ended up in palliative care with cancer this past May, I knew I wanted him to see it. So my mom and I (with the help of my aunt whom I swore to secrecy!) took a few pics of me in my dress to show my grandpa. He got to see me in my dress and said: "You look so beautiful. I wish I could be there. I tried really hard to make it". He died June 27th and I am so glad that I got to share that moment with him. He's the only person in the world I wanted to share it with before the wedding and I will always be grateful that I got the chance.

My mom, aunt and grandma helped me pick it out (Actually my aunt picked the dress out).

I also had a "grandma" viewing with my and FH's grandma's. Two of them are going blind and they all thought it was special that they could see it before the wedding.
