Yes, it generally does. In ASL, your dominant hand should be the one that moves and rests on top. If you are right-handed, your left hand stays stationary with the palm facing up, and your right hand moves down to clasp it.
No, 'husband' and 'wife' have their own distinct signs that start at the forehead or chin, respectively. However, both of those signs finish by bringing the hands together in the exact same clasping motion used for the sign 'marry'.
No, you should not interlock or lace your fingers together. Keep the fingers on both hands closed and slightly cupped. You are simply resting your dominant hand over your non-dominant hand in a gentle, relaxed clasping motion.
