Groomsman refuses to wear a tie

One of my fiancés groomsmen has told us that he refuses to wear a tie/bowtie at our wedding. All the other groomsmen will be wearing bowties.

One of my fiancés groomsmen has told us that he refuses to wear a tie/bowtie at our wedding. All the other groomsmen will be wearing bowties. He say's he is "weird" about wearing things around his neck ( but has no problem wearing a dress shirt buttoned all the way to the top). He said he would wear a bolo tie..... which I hate. My future MIL said I should let him wear whatever he wants or have all the groomsmen wear different types of ties ( since the bridesmaids are all wearing different styles of dresses that are all the same color). I would rather him not wear anything at all around his neck if a bolo is the only thing he will agree to wear. I just don't want all my pictures to have everyone looking uniform and one guy looking like he lost his tie. Any advise on what I can do besides letting him wear a bolo or holding him to the ground and forcefully putting a tie on?

    @MiniMe - Seems you are a little triggered. I'm taking your comment as a direct attack on a member of the community.

    @MiniMe - yea, when you say someone's comments are always BS, I take that as an attack. But alas, it's up to the mods not me.

    Also, "triggered" was intended to be ironic. (Now THAT was sarcasm)

    Also, I'm with @Keisha.

    ETA: grammar

    Way off topic, but @OP, you mentioned needing groomsmen gift ideas too. We got them multitools. They seemed to be a big hit!
