Whilst the former would also be nice, in this case the latter is correct. The lovely miss_amaranth will be joining us at the Sooper Sekrit gathering this year.
Given the shared gatekeeping responsibility for the P**T*** community, I'm one of the first to speak out against the practice of brining one's "partner of the year" along. As you know, attending once potentially makes you a life member. So folks who have a different partner each year -- often non-Pagan -- and bring them all along, are potentially making problems for us by not using their invite powers wisely. (Thankfully, this has not created any issues for us thus far)
When cheshcat and I got together, waaaaaaay back when, she did not bring me along to P**T*** until the third time that she went. In that time, we went to Summer festivals, like FSG and Starwood. However, she explained that P**T*** was more serious, and for more dedicated Pagans. I accepted this and there was no problem. It was only after we had been together for several years and I had been working ritual during that time that she brought me along. Similarly, miss_amaranth and I have now been together for nearly four years... and she has been an active part of our coven for almost three years. So it seems an appropriate time to invite her along.
She is rather looking forward to experiencing P**T*** at last. I hope you will be coming along this year and can meet her, my friend!
