My brother recently got married and DH didn't wear a tie. It was a small wedding and we knew it wasn't a fully formal affair. In fact, the groom and groomsmen didn't even wear ties. They had that spunky beach wedding look where they had the top button of the shirts undone. The wedding was on a pier which really suited the look (although the weather didn't agree and it was blowing an arctic gale, lol!). Their reception was a stand-up ****tail type reception.
We are going to a wedding this afternoon though that is more formal. It is a church wedding and then a formal sit-down meal reception, so DH will be wearing a tie. In fact, he just had to go out and buy a new shirt because he found a "spot" on the one he was going to wear, hehe.
We are going to a wedding today which is in a park, but my DH rang his mate to check the dress code, and he said to wear a suit, so he will be wearing a tie because a suit to him means a tie and jacket. It all depends on the dress code for the wedding really, as I think most people just want to fit in and be respectful to the wishes of the bride and groom given it's their big day.
