We use our recently derived real and virtual infrared functions for soft pairs in QED in the YFS exponentiation framework to develop a Monte Carlo event generator realization of the effects of such pairs in the low-angle Bhabha scattering process at SLC or CERN LEP energies. The respective Monte Carlo realization is incorporated into the event generator BHLUMI 2.30, and explicit Monte Carlo data are presented for the ALEPH LCAL luminometer-type acceptance. Our results confirm our earlier semianalytic estimates of the size of such effects in the SLC or LEP luminosity process and provide an event-by-event view of their manifestations. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
