Lisa's Wedding

"Lisa's Wedding" is the nineteenth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

Marge is still a housewife; 25-year-old Bart is twice-divorced and works as a building demolition expert while planning on going to law school; 16-year-old Maggie apparently never stops speaking (although she never talks in the episode, and whenever she tries to she is interrupted); and Homer still works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in Sector 7G, with Milhouse as his supervisor.

Despite Lisa's hopes, Hugh does not get along with her family, and is particularly dismayed when Homer wants him to wear family-tradition cufflinks resembling pigs on his wedding day.

Outraged, Lisa insists she cannot marry him if he cannot understand that she loves her family members – despite their shortcomings – and calls off the wedding.

[7] The plot involving Homer's cuff links was not in the original draft; it was later added because the writers felt that something was needed to represent Hugh's disdain for the Simpson family.

On Homer, the redesign was minimal, making him a bit heavier, removing one hair and placing an extra line under the eye.

[7] The night sky was intentionally made a more reddish color in a subtle joke about how the producers thought the world would be much more polluted in 2010.

While both "Lisa's Wedding" and "Future-Drama" were nominated for an Emmy, in 2003, Entertainment Weekly named "Bart to the Future" the worst episode in the history of the series.

[6] Lisa wandering away from the Renaissance fair while following a rabbit is similar to the plot of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland.

[3] In this episode's version of the future, apparently three of the major American television networks have been bought by ABC and merged into CNNBCBS.

[9] "Lisa's Wedding" won an Emmy Award in 1995 for Outstanding Animated Program,[6] becoming the third episode of The Simpsons to win in the category.
