Explanation:

Correct option is 1: I finished my assignment before we

The sentence indicates that the act of finishing the assignment had already finished before the concerned people reached 'his' wedding. Thus the Past Perfect (sub + had + v3 + object) should be used here in order to show that an action was completed at some point in the past before another action started. So the sentence should read as: I had finished my assignment before we reached his wedding with great difficulty because of heavy traffic.
Also note that the sentence as given conveys an inappropriate meaning indicating that the assignment was finished with great difficulty because of heavy traffic. To rectify the error the correction should be made in the first part of the sentence.
