I am soon traveling to get married and honeymoon. I will be out around 2
weeks. I have a 58G tank which has bolivian rams as the main attractions.
If I am unable to find a friend to come everyday and feed them, what do you
suggest I do for feeding?

Thanks

Feed a little extra every day for two weeks, do your usual water change a
few days before you go and make sure your filters are clean, then go away
and forget them, they will be fine for two weeks.

I have four tanks of various sizes and was recently on holiday for just over
5 weeks. I had timers on all the lights and I fitted automatic feeders on
each tank (fitted them a month before just to make sure they all worked ok
and didn't block or fall in or anything). however, I did manage to persuade
a friend to call in once a week to add Easy Balance to the water as of
course there were no water changes during that time. (Don't normally use it
but it seemed to work fine)
All were fine when I got back.

Nothing. if your fish are well-fed before you go, two weeks isn't a
problem. (and by well-fed, I didn't mean overfeed before you leave).
