The rest is history means that what comes after that basically brings one to the point one is at today, as though implying it’s what one already knows (history), so there’s no need explaining beyond that point. It’s used often after one has told the story of how they met their significant other after which they say this because it’s the usual story everyone knows, also sometimes it’s because the story will continue in the future but it has yet to happen.
