It all depends on when you get the green-card issued, that is the date you enter the USA using the immigrant visa.

If interview happens before 2nd wedding anniversary, the visa will show CR-1 Code, HOWEVER, if you delay and enter the USA after 2nd wedding anniversary, show marriage cert to POE officer, the card will be coded for 10 years. (A couple of posts have shown the POE make a mistake and code for the CR-Green-card, but all that was needed is to schedule an appointment to USCIS field office and get it corrected)

If visa interview happens after 2nd wedding anniversary, then the visa should be coded IR-1.
