Some states have made is legal to marry a first cousin. There are genetic risks with a pregnancy between two so closely related people. You are taking the risk of birth defect and genetic abnormalities. I do not know the risk percentage but will try to find out for you.
Go to this link with a good article about it.

It's not a good idea, but inbreeding does happen, and it usually takes a few generations for weird things to show up. Most of Europe's royal families are rather inbred---cousins marrying cousins all over the place, up until the last 2-3 generations.
