 Hugh is well educated and intelligent, but is a bit snooty towards people, especially Lisa's family. Hugh can also seem selfish, making decisions that would affect him and Lisa without consulting Lisa first. Hugh also shows contempt towards Lisa's family, especially Homer. Although, Hugh did care about Lisa, putting up with her family just to attempt to please her.

 On the wedding day, Hugh introduced Homer to his parents. When Homer went to visit Lisa's tent, Lisa noticed that he had the cuff links as Hugh had left them on the night stand as he didn't want to wear them. Lisa then took the cuff links to Hugh to get him to wear them. Hugh got annoyed, not wanting to wear the cuff links in front of his parents and their friends, even though he had promised Homer he would. Hugh told Lisa that he was just humoring Homer. Hugh then revealed to Lisa that he planned to take her back to London and not see Lisa's family again, which annoyed Lisa. He then told Lisa that Marge could visit after their children were born but didn't want Homer to visit. Lisa told Hugh she didn't want to cut her family out of her life and Hugh told her that she was "like a flower that grew out of a pot of dirt", which Lisa thought was a horrible thing to say. Hugh then enters the wedding tent and told everyone that the wedding was cancelled.

+'''Hugh St. John Alastair Parkfield''' is a British college student who becomes engaged to [[Lisa]] 15 years in the future. The story is told by a [[fortune teller]] that Lisa visits.
 == History ==
-In the future, a now 23 year old Lisa becomes annoyed by Hugh and at first, the two quarrel over a book in the library, but the pair eventually fall madly in love. The two discover they have a lot in common and Hugh invites Lisa to come back to his home in [[England]] so she can meet his parents. Hugh asks Lisa to marry him and she immediately accepts. Lisa and Hugh travel to [[Springfield]] where Lisa is worried that her family will embarrass her and things get off to a bad start when Bart and Homer accidentally set the British Union Jack flag on fire, which they put out by throwing dung. At dinner, Lisa plans on going for a wedding dress fitting and Homer decides to take Hugh out on the town to [[Moe's Tavern]]. While there, Homer presents Hugh with a tacky pair of cuff links (a bride and groom pig) that all Simpson men have worn on their wedding day, asking him to continue the tradition; Hugh reluctantly agrees to wear them during the wedding. Later that night, Lisa apologizes profusely for the behavior of her family and although Hugh says it was nothing, he stays up thinking. On the day of the wedding, Homer talks with Lisa and she discovers that Hugh did not wear Homer's cuff links. She finds Hugh and asks him to wear them. He agrees, but lets slip that after the wedding he plans for them to return to England and never see her family again. Lisa is outraged and calls off the wedding.
+In the year 2010, Lisa was in university. Hugh and Lisa bumped into each other, which annoyed Lisa. Hugh then took the last soy-based snack from the vending machine, took an elevator before Lisa could then checked out the last copy of ''[[Ecosystem of the Marsh]]'' before Lisa could. This really got on Lisa's nerves and she confronted Hugh because she wanted the book. Hugh and Lisa then read it together, racing to try and beat each page. They then started arguing with each other before making out. Lisa and Hugh then start dating.
-Back in the present once more, the fortune teller says that Hugh went back to England and never saw Lisa again and that there was nothing Lisa could do to prevent it - although she should "try to look surprised". Lisa questions the fortune teller about her "true love" and the fortune teller reveals that although Lisa will have a true love, she "specializes in foretelling relationships where you get jerked around." Lisa leaves the booth and finds her father, who brags about his day at the fair and Lisa listens raptly as the two walk off, undoubtedly grateful to Homer after she saw what his future self had done for her.
+Hugh then asked Lisa to go back with him to [[London]] to visit his parents. In London, Hugh asked Lisa to marry her, and Lisa said yes. They then fly back to [[Springfield]] to start planning the wedding, staying at [[Homer]] and [[Marge]]'s house. When they arrive, Homer and [[Bart]] hoist a Union Jack flag to welcome Hugh but it sets on fire. After stamping on it and shoveling manure onto it to put it out, they give it to Hugh, who was sad about the flag. Homer then puts Lisa and Hugh in the new guest room, which he had built himself. Then the floor beneath Hugh gave way and Hugh fell onto the pile of manure beneath it.
