Okay, I have a new, weird theory. Bear with me...

So, we've established that what London and Nathan are doing is unbelievably, earth-shatteringly stupid.

However, we've been torn on who exactly to lay all or most of the blame on. Is this London or Nathan's doing? Both?

Here's what I think, and hear me out: It's obvious that Nathan has been having lady troubles and has been dealing with very prominent insecurities since the break up with Madisen.

From this angle, it's understandable that everyone jumped to the conclusion that the proposal was all Nathan's idea. He's just desperately trying to fill the void that Madisen and (to a certain extent) Carly left. I certainly thought that.

Nevertheless, there is one detail that makes me doubt this: Nathan didn't marry Madisen. If he was so desperate to settle down, why didn't he just do it with the (gag) the true love of his life? As much as it pains me to admit this, Nathan head over heels in love with Madisen. The contrast between the Nadisen pics and the Nondon pics is extraordinary and painfully evident (mind you, even they couldn't top Jathan's chemistry but I digress).

This is why I believe that it was, in fact, London who actually "proposed" the proposal. It makes sense considering London is the only one who has ever shown any passion or enthusiasm in the relationship.

Now, here's where my theory comes in: I believe that London came up with the brilliant idea to get married. Nathan went along with it, probably to make her happy, but also--wait for it--to make Madisen jealous.

Think about it--for the past few months, Madisen has been showing off her amazing romance with Ty nonstop. Naturally, this had to be KILLING Nathan; hence, why he was skirt-chasing all over Twitter.

We know, judging by his Q&A in January, that Nathan's not quite over Madisen (in the slightest). Obviously, he could NOT have moved on this fast and already be ready to MARRY someone. He saw London as a prime candidate to make Madi jealous because she was already nuts about him and does the job of "showing off" for him.

This explains the posey nature of the pictures--he's basically saying, "Fuck you, Madisen, look how handsome and happy I am with my new girl!" even though he's not actually happy and this whole thing is just an elaborate ruse to get her attention.

It also explains why all of this feels terribly planned--why would Nathan tell London about the engagement and pick out a ring ahead of time? Wouldn't he want to keep it a surprise?

In short, Nathan is using London to get back at Madi and London is completely oblivious to the entire thing. I know this may be giving Nathan a little too much credit considering the consensus around here is that he's not very bright. Still, it makes more sense than anything else I can come up with...

I'm a genius. ^_^
