I cant say anything about the SOE stuff but i have heard good things about it.
That being said my better half and I went there last year for our honeymoon and it was really worth it. First off its not the kind of place that "everyone" goes to, so that alone makes it a more unique experience. Showing pictures to friends and family and having them go "ohh" and "aww" even a year later is a big + in my book at least
Please note that im also assuming that your wife dont play EVE thus she will have no interest in the actual FF events. Honestly, that wont be a problem. While some of the FF events are interesting, chances are you will just pick a few and go to those and skip the rest, which leaves a lot of time where you and your wife can go and do other things.
We were lucky enough to have our own "local guide" in the corp that drove us around, and we saw everything from fields filled with Icelandic horses, volcanos, the hot springs, geysirs, beautiful waterfalls and the general country side. I know that one couple that is going this year is also signing up to go diving, and i think there is also things like whale watching tours (we had already been on one, so dident go to that one).
The town is also very small, and while some areas might look more.. shabby and run down the main parts are very cozy and its nice for calm walks and window shopping. If you drink (im a non drinker so cant say much about this) there is also plenty of regular bars and if i remember correctly there was also one place that was more specialized in wine.
There is also a lot of restaurants to choose from, varying in price and location and also what you are looking for. For "romantic" i would highly recommend Argentina, which is sort of middle of the tree price wise, but very good food and very memorable together with great service. If you want something more special (and more pricey) i would say stop by Perlan which is also an unique experience. However, i will admit that out of a party of 5, 3 of us got food poisoning after eating there, but we suspect it can be related to the free appetizers. But even with that, was worth going there just to see it, but it is more of a "dress up" place to bring a tie
But all in all... Iceland strikes me as the kind of place that offers so many options, some less obvious then others, that you can go back over and over again and find something new every time.
So your best way to convince her... Make it clear that while there is FF stuff you would like to attend, your time together is still priority, then sit down and look for things and events that you both could enjoy. Personally i would have loved to take one of the tours that are done on horseback but trying to drag someone who has no interest in horses to something like that, especially since the one i looked at lasted for 3 days, was not an option Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles
