We are both homebodies so we would want something relaxing that includes sitting beachside or at the pool. I started looking around Charleston, Savannah, and the outerbanks.
We would want something with night life and good food. I have to keep in mind accommodations for four people. We definitely want our own space away from her grandparents.
Maybe a golf cart community on the beach is the way to go.

I would do Maine over Cape Cod and Nantucket.
Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are really nice.
Weather in summer is perfect. Cool nights (sometimes you need a light jacket) with highs in the 70's.
There is a lot to see and do within short drives.
Kennebunkport has some nice places to stay at reasonable prices that have nice amenities - pools, water views, whole in the wall lobster places, etc.
Check out Nonantum that has dock access with fishing charters, lobster tours, or wine sailings. It has a pool, free buffet breakfast every morning and a poolside bar/grill for lunchtime.
Nantucket will be very expensive to stay there and if you stay on Cape Cod and went to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, it's by ferry access and you would not have transportation when you get there.
Another option would be Newport Rhode Island but also very expensive, might be better to visit one day.

If you go to the outerbanks (OBX) of NC you will probably want to rent a small house. There are not many hotels but a lot of houses to rent. In the summer time the owners usually only want to rent for a week.
IMO the OBX beaches are not as nice as those on the Gulf. There are some good restaurants, and some not so good ones, but I don't know about a lot of nightlife there. It is not promoted.
We spent 5 days there a few summers ago; 2 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn at Kill Devil Hills, 2 nights at a B&B on Ocracoke Island and 1 night at Atlantic Beach. We just worked our way north to south. If you want to see the sights you either have to move to a different place or do a lot of back track driving.
We were in Maine last year. I think I read somewhere that they don't have a lot of sand beaches; I think they are shell or rocks. There are a lot of locally owned hotels/Inns along the coast to stay at however.
If you decide to go Maine or the OBX I can tell you more about our experiences.
I am having a hard time getting my head around a post wedding trip with the grandparents but it is not clear if this is the honeymoon or just an extra trip.
But, my recommendation is Vancouver, BC. I don't know if they have beaches there though.
