Not to worry, taken in the good spirit which you intended. 
Reminds me of what someone once posted on FT, -- If you take your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend on a trip and you turn left on boarding s/he will never be willing to turn right again.

I would agree against trying to buy lounge access. Al Mourjan isn't quite worth $120. Instead I think @daniellam's suggestion is a great one, Caviar House can be really quite nice.

If one really wants lounge access at HIA, many Priority Pass Lounges offer paid access in addition to Priority Pass - and Diners, Lounge Key, American Express Platunum, access. In this instance, however, it might be that rather than paid access, it’s also for those who pay for Al Maha arrival, transit or departure Gold or Platinum service. If not overly expensive, that might be impressive for honeymooning couples. See here.

Disclaimer: I’ve used Al Mourjan during my transfers as a QF Business class passenger. And they’re quite rigid about access, to to mention IMO the quoted price for Al Mourjan for cash access is totally out of proportion to what is on offer.
