Should I trust this flight?

I have a wedding to attend overseas - Israel. The only flight I can take, due to other commitments, is one that leaves at 0700 from Luton, landing two hours before the wedding ceremony starts. If everything goes to plan I should arrive at the venue one hour before.

There are many things that might go wrong once we have landed, including traffic on the way from the airport, long lines at Passport Control, a long wait for luggage (if I take any), the taxi breaking down etc etc. But the big issue is will the flight arrive on time.

So given that a 0700 flight is likely to be the first flight of the day, what is the chance of it leaving and arriving on time? For obvious reasons I need to ignore the possibility of technical delays, weather delays (16th February) and medical emergencies on board.

I think this is far too small a timeslot to give me anything but stress during the journey and I don't want to arrive a) stressed and worse b) late. Not much point in going if I miss the main bit.....
