I really like him and he likes me. He's told his family about us and there fine about it but I'm to scared to tell my parents incase they get angry. Is this relationship wrong and how should I tell my parents?

I believe it is legal here in the UK (in fact, I think that even first cousin are allowed to marry here...).
I don't think there's anything morally wrong about it, you're relatively distant relatives anyway and you've never had much familial interaction.
I think you just have to be straight with your parents about it and fight your corner if need be.
Best of luck :)

My husbands grandmother and my grandmother were first cousins. Our families werent close in earlier generations...the only person who ever said anything was a great~aunt who said, 'if i couldnt find someone who wasnt kin i'd just stay single', and she was! Lol and the kids are perfectly normal :)

difficult to answer, but suggestions are there.
1. understand yourself
2.understand you both.
3.about your parents? how are your parents? we dont know whether they will accept.
4. to present the matter to your parents, you may tactically present or you may use some of your close relatives or a close friend to inform and to convince if required.
