I would go but insist on paying. Especially for a new brother in law[b] that was my sisters 2nd husband[/b]. Grandparents gift? Fine. But not someone that was my peer and making a show out of it. If he had subtly offered to pay for all the hotel rooms or something and it wasn't a grand announcement, maybe. 
I don't think your husband is crazy at all.[/quote]

How is the fact that OP'S brother-in-law is her sister's 2nd husband at all relevant?[/quote]

Pp here.
I think it's relevant because the OP said they had only been married two years and is therefore a "newer" member of the family and OP's husband does not have a long history with him to build familiarity and comfort. Which would be two things that may make it more comfortable to take such a large gift.
I also think it's a different case than, say, my BIL who has been a part of our family for 20 years and is close to us, and has been part of 20 years of give and take (such as help when he had surgery, help when the kids were little with babysitting, things like that).
