What was up with the 'Great Marriage'?
Did pagans really follow a similar ritual or was it all made up?

Not quite. The Romans wrote of Celtic Beltane fertility rites which people coupled in anonymity with multiple partners. Whether it was true is up for debate. The Romans had reasons to defame their opponents.
In any case, nothing quite as formal as what was depicted.
