http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2010/03/14/state/n100015D53.DTLDanielle Pauline Severson takes female hormones, dresses and acts like a woman and plans to have sex reassignment surgery so she physically looks like a woman.
Yet the pre-operative transgender female, who was born Dana Paul Severson, will have to tie the knot to a woman in California.
After being jilted by officials in Nevada — which bills itself as the wedding capital of the world — Severson and Rebecca Love were granted a marriage license Wednesday by officials in Severson's hometown of Redding, Calif.

Danielle Severson and Rebecca Love weren't sure it would happen after being denied a marriage license in Reno, Nevada.
"We went to try to get it in Reno and she had all the documentation proving she was legally a male but they wouldn't give us a marriage license because her drivers license stated she was a female," says Rebecca Love.
