When marriage changes a close friendship

My best friend and I have been drifting apart since she got married and I can't tell if it's natural growing apart or if I'm jealous or if she's choosing her new life over our friendship. We keep making plans we both cancel and having surface-level conversations that feel like we're both pretending everything is fine.
