My Mother-in-Law married her first cousin (both from Denmark) and no one there ever thought this was weird or wrong. They were both older and not into making kids plus they "re-married" the family lines and doubled the family land holdings. And they loved eachother very much. In Europe, many of the royal families do this for similiar reasons and this was another modern day instance of such. Both are direct descendents to the crown. It's not always a bad match.
America is so provincial!!
