How to use «Disastrous» in context?
I have never seen anything more disastrous in my life than what happened at the Royal Wedding. The whole day was a disaster from start to finish. I’m not just talking about the fact that the wedding was filmed on location and the weather was terrible, I’m also talking about the fact that the bride and groom looked miserable the entire time. Plus, there was the debacle of the toast not being read. If that wasn’t bad enough, the couple then had to run away to Botswana because of the riots. If there’s one thing that can ruin a wedding, it’s riots.
