I'm going to cancel the gathering due to inevitable circumstances. Incorrect. Inevitable means something was bound to happen/ it was definitely going to happen. If such a thing would result in your canceling a gathering - you wouldn't have organised it in the first place as you would have known you would have to cancel.
