Mrs RC & I had a chat about this. She's a level headed, sensible woman. I have learned to ignore her advice at my peril. (Which is why we're still married, I suppose.)
More likely she will grin and bear it, but be badly hurt inside. It is clear the money means more to you than her, and that you think you can buy off her emotions. Her opinion is not important to you and you shrug off her attempts at showing affection, so you do not respect her. She went out of her way to think up a nice gift and you rejected it and showed you would rather be in work. This means you do not value her gifts nor her desire to spend time with you.
The weekend away that she thought up, arranged and paid for was not because she wants your money. It is because she wants you. Reject the gift and you are rejecting her.
Tell the PM you can do the weekend before, the weekend after, Christmas, Easter, anything, but not that weekend.
Unless, of course, the money means more to you than she does, in which case do the decent thing and dump her so she can get on with her life instead of stringing her along while her ovaries dry up.
