Is it wrong to be a romantic?

I consider myself a romantic and I want to wait until I am married to have and if I could, I'd wait to have my first kiss be on my wedding day. Silly, I know, but I want real, true love and I want to give myself to one person only (it has nothing to do with religion, so don't think that, like I said, I am a romantic). I want to feel those erflies not just the first time, but every time I am with my true love, and I don't just mean with or kissing, I mean every time I am with that person. But too many people laugh at me and ridicule me and say it's not all it's cracked up to be and that it won't be special. I know life isn't perfect and it won't always be perfect between me and my love, but that's what makes it so great, knowing were not perfect but we love each other despite our flaws. It just hurts to be ridiculed and feel really embarred by others who put me down for being a romantic. What do you think? Is it cheesy to be a romantic, especially nowadays when everywhere we go, were bombarded with because sells and romance isn't considered real anymore?
