"From now on, we're family, so let's not be overly formal about things," Christopher Turner said, emphasizing the words "family." In that instant, both his tone and voice changed, becoming different from his usual manner.

"Exactly! From now on, we're family, so there's no need for formalities," Michael Linton reiterated Christopher Turner's sentiment, and then swiftly shifted the topic to the wedding, "So, if you have any requests, just bring them up, don't hold back with us."
He appeared bold and straightforward, ready to hear any requests from the other side.
