If you can pop over there, the Palisades is supposed to have some amazing hikes (dramatic views, rugged terrain) for being right across the river from the City...check out http://www.njpalisades.org/hiking.htm.
The wedding will also be close (15-20 minutes drive) to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (http://www.fws.gov/northeast/greatswamp/). A swamp may not sound like a fun hike, but whatever's there now is a heck of a lot more fun to walk through than the airport they once thought of putting on that land.
If your S.O. is interested at all in post-Age-of-Sail ships, don't forget the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum (http://www.intrepidmuseum.org). It'll be his last chance to see it for eighteen months (as they're closing for renovations on October 1).
