Ok, so helping you DEFINITELY helped me. Your marker should look something like this:
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
Oa: locations[i][1],
Pa: locations[i][2],
map: map,
icon: "http://lindsay-and-dan.gettingmarried.co.uk/images/maps/icon-music.gif"
});
Oa and Pa were added.
Hope this helps
P.S: I just noticed your other issue with the info window itself. Add infowindow.open(map,marker); and also the positioning of the infowindow is off...not really sure about that one.
P.P.S.: Your $('.move') block of code needs to be within the markers loop; within this block, replace your marker reference with markers[i]. This should do it for you!
