She wasn't prominent at all. Barely there, in fact. She played an important role in The Sign of Four (where Watson meets her and falls in love), and the only other time her character was of any great importance was during the Empty House (when Holmes comes back and it is implied that he knows of Mary's death). If we do not count the fact that she was the reason Watson didn't live with Holmes for quite a while as an important one, that is.

Holmes wasn't what I would call "jealous", but he was certainly saddened by Watson's marriage:

"I feared as much," said he. "I really cannot congratulate you."

I was a little hurt.

"Have you any reason to be dissatisfied with my choice?" I asked.

"Not at all. I think she is one of the most charming young ladies I ever met and might have been most useful in such work as we have been doing. She had a decided genius that way witness the way in which she preserved that Agra plan from ali the other papers of her father. But love is an emotional thing, and whatever is emotional is opposed to that true cold reason which I place above all things. I should never marry myself, lest I bias my judgment."

Also, some fans argue that the ending of The Sign of Four (when Holmes says "for me, there still remains the cocaine-bottle") might have been due to his being depressed over Watson's future departure from 221b.
