At the wedding, champagne is served in flute glasses, which were not popular and rarely used for champagne until the 1970s, when drier vintages became preferred; instead the champagne coupe (or saucer) glass was almost universally used for serving the beverage in the 1950s, and still is in champagne fountains at weddings.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
Betty tells her suddenly anti-Semite mother that she filed for divorce and plans to leave her cheating husband and live in Greenwich Village with Giselle. Joan has been accepted to Yale law school. However, she elopes and plans to be a wife to her husband in Philadelphia. Connie ends up with Betty's cousin Charlie. Katherine discovers Bill lied about serving in Italy, which leads to their separation. She's offered to stay as a teacher for another year but she can't succumb to the board's restrictions. She leaves in a cab, the girls riding along on bicycles.
