Bride-to-be has no tie or stole? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robbed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stole?' is the definition.
(robbing is a kind of stealing)

'bride-to-be has no tie' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'be' is found in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for robbed that I've seen before include "Stole" , "Took by force or without consent" , "stripped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
