They were both adopted right after birth to different pairs of adoptive parents good point, what if you don't know you are related?
I really fall on the side of freedom of choice here. If they knew each other as children the love affair would never have happened.
And the risk of deformed children has two considerations:
a. They may choose not to have kids.
b. The actual cases of such afflictions is overblown by scientific studies on inbreeding.
The weirdos you see in history like the Hapsbergs came from many consecutive generations of inbreeding.

1st cousins arent blood related any more than 167th cousins
No, dude. My mom's sister's kids are definitely more blood related than a 167th cousin.

It's been covered, but this is blatantly not true. First cousins, by definition, share a set of grandparents. "167th cousins" share an ancestral couple from before the founding of the Roman Republic.

i could see a point in taking 1st cousins off the incest list, but its still on the "thats creepy as shite, dont do it", list
This is where I always get into trouble trying to explain "the real world" on this board.
To reiterate:
1. I am NOT advocating cousin marriage. It IS creepy.
2. If you cannot process and accept point #1, DO NOT READ FURTHER
Now - real talk - before the industrial revolution (i.e. railroads, steamships and ultimately aircraft), the vast majority of human beings never traveled more that 50 miles from where they were born. If they did so, it was usually on a military campaign, a disastrous migration, they were explorers or otherwise part of a nomadic society.
Combine not traveling very far in one's lifetime with lower population densities and, outside of very dense cities, most agrarian folks (which still constituted about 80 to 90 percent of the population in most places, well into the 19th Century, even in the West) were marrying their cousins. It was not even criminal for much of the United States until after the Civil War.

This is another point. If you breed good genetics into good genetics, that is how all purebred dogs come about. Likewise, breeds with bad hips or other congenital problems also arise from these breeding practices.
Humans are the same way. As I've suggested, cousin marriage, by necessity, was very common until the Industrial Revolution. It is most prominently (and infamously) known among royal families back to the beginning of recorded history. Recent examples include the "Hapsburg Jaw" (typified by Charles II whose family tree largely did not, for the lack of a better term, "fork") and hemophilia throughout many royal bloodlines of Europe just in the past couple of centuries (primarily 2 of Queen Victoria's daughters carrying the mutated gene).
