Its legal,
and obviously hasn't caused any problems in your case, but as I'm sure you well know there is a very sound biological reason that having kids with family members is a taboo in the vast majority of cultures I'm afraid. I wouldn't be too happy about my own kid marrying his cousin for this reason.

Its also worth noting that genetic counselling and testing will only protect you so far. My wife works in this area and the recessive conditions often caused by consanguinuity are usually undetectable by chromosomal or genetic analysis in the resulting children, never mind the parents.

Fortunately though, as long as you 'outbreed' your own kids should have no more chance of inerited disease than anyone else.

Obviously all this doesn't excuse schoolkids being shits or give any reason to stop you being proud of your parents.

Yeah, pretty much as I was going to say.
The chances of weird genetic issues are pretty uncommon in the children of cousins, but it can be an issue if it goes on for generations, and the weird genetic issues build up over time. Just look at the royal family.
