She gets her green card after you file for an adjustment of status and it is approved- which usually takes around 6 months if everything goes smoothly. You can send that in after you get married. She can come back with you after the honeymoon only if you do that in the United States. Do not leave the United States for your honeymoon for any reason.

She'll receive conditional residence after the green card is approved.

You'll want to keep this in mind:
