It's also legal in most other countries and even though unusual nowadays, isn't unheard of. In fact, 10% of marriages worldwide are first cousing marriages (wiki). So I'd say normal...
you should go for a prenatal diagnosis if you're planning to have children though, as the risk of malformed children is (slightly) higher than as if you weren't related. ;)
some countries go even farther than that and allow for (or at least don't prosecute) SIBLING sexual relations.
France took it off the books over a hundred years ago (although they cannot marry).
Holland still has it on the books but won't prosecute
and Sweden went go for broke and gave siblings full rights to marry each other
IMO that's alright. If people want to copulate with each other they should, they should however also take the neccessary precautions as not to give birth to disabled children. They should also consider the effects their relationship will have on the child etc. ;)
It may be morally wrong, but morals are defined by society, they aren't absolute and they certainly aren't right, nothing is and they shouldn't restrict what someone is allowed to do. I'm glad the Swedes recognised that fact.
Is it normal to be extremely attracted to your first cousin?

Yeah, a Genetic Counsellor, they look at your chances of having a health baby.
