Gender issue cancels couple's Reno wedding plans

Reed High School graduate Rebecca Love and her partner were denied a marriage license March 6 by county officials, forcing them to cancel plans the next day in a Reno chapel as Love's family watched.

Her partner is a transgender surgery candidate named Danielle Pauline Severson, but born Dana Paul Severson, who is taking female hormones. The couple had Severson's birth certificate showing she was born a man, divorce papers from a marriage to a woman, her name-change documentation and photo identification.
