BOSTON —Jody and Trinity Nelson have been married for 10 years but military deployment and then cancer put their honeymoon plans on hold until this week.

After serving in Afghanistan in the Marine Corps, Jody was diagnosed with stage IV small cell carcinoma last year.

That delayed the honeymoon for the Virginia couple.

"We wanted to come to a Red Sox game," said Jody Nelson. "We wanted to come to Fenway Park."

Friends helped raise the money through the Newton-based website Booster.com which organizes fundraising campaigns through T-shirt sales and direct donations.

Their 2-year-old son, Caleb, is with his grandmother while the Nelsons enjoyed a much-needed break in Boston. They ate at Wahlburgers in Hingham where they were welcomed like members of the famous family.
