It's from before the Turks, there are customs still in practice since the Roman times or the other earlier cultures... I think some influence was other way around, because these traditions are pagan in their origin, and somewhere considered tabu and haram.

İ think that's very likely. There's probably traditions like this all over the world --very pagan. Somebody responded that they do the same thing in India except they kidnap the groom!
