Answer

Direct answer

Fog and smog can make travel less predictable, so build flexibility into arrivals and departures instead of promising a fixed journey time.

Check current official weather, air-quality and road information close to the event. Arrange a contact for delayed guests and confirm how late transport or accommodation changes will be handled. Do not pressure drivers to continue through unsafe conditions to meet a ceremony cue. Health or travel precautions should follow the relevant advisories and each guest's needs, not a calendar-based assumption.
