marrying own cousin

I am married to my first cousin.. and I am not ashamed about it at all! Alhumdulliah I am blessed to be married to such a wonderful person so be it that he is my cousin..
The only thing I guess one should remember is that mehram person for a women is not her cousin so she can get married to anyone non-mehram person.. Many here say it’s a no-go for them but there is no reason to deny a perfectly good proposal for that reason.. I think :).. Once you get nikahed your feelings change for that person.. my husband liked me before we got married but respected me enough to never say anything to me.. although we lived far apart maybe that contributed to not having much awkwardness I guess

well god bless you two
thx to all of you for the replies. it kind of makes sense to me now
