Question

Is it ok or advisable to marry second generation first cousin(maternal Uncle's daughter)?

My maternal Uncle has also married his maternal Uncle's daughter..so this is a second generation first cousin marriage...I heard that there's a hadith that we should not marry our first cousin over generation after generation...is it true?...because I am almost engaged and I am really confused..

NOTE-My father and mother has not married consuingenetally...
